Topic:
From Innovation to Distribution: How Frida is Scaling Supply Chain Growth in NE Florida

Guest Speaker:
Andrea Gauntlett
Senior Director, Supply Chain
Frida

Join Andrea Gauntlett, Senior Director of Supply Chain at Frida, for an inside look at how one of the fastest-growing consumer brands is building a smarter, more agile supply chain in Northeast Florida. Known for its wide range of baby, maternal care, and wellness products, Frida has evolved from a disruptive innovator into a sophisticated operation moving high-demand goods at scale. Andrea will highlight the company’s rapid growth in Jacksonville, including its expanded 270,000-square-foot distribution center near JAXPORT, which has doubled its local logistics footprint and positioned the region as a key gateway for imports, inventory management, and nationwide distribution.

The discussion will explore how Frida manages product flow from sourcing to fulfillment while leveraging Northeast Florida’s port, rail, highway, and distribution advantages. Attendees will gain insight into the company’s growth story, its use of Jacksonville as a strategic logistics hub, and the role of resilient supply chain networks in meeting consumer demand. Andrea will also share lessons on scaling operations, driving efficiency, and why the region plays a central role in Frida’s long-term supply chain strategy.
