Daniel Sullivan is an American entrepreneur and business executive. He is the founder of Temple Turmeric, an American beverage company known for its turmeric-based ready to drink beverages.[2] He currently serves as the company's CEO and spokesperson for the brand.[3]
Sullivan was a carpenter by trade as well as a health enthusiast.[4] He is a classically trained artist and studied different cultures while traveling the world.[5] He traveled to Hawaii in 2008 on a farming vacation.[4] He was in Maui on an organic farm where he realized that turmeric was the island's largest cash crop.[4] He snacked on raw turmeric during the day and upon returning to New York, founded Temple Turmeric (originally called Tumeric - Elixirs of Life) in 2009.[3][1]
Sullivan hired a chef to help create a drinkable turmeric juice or beverage that he then marketed locally. He soon thereafter hired additional chefs and a total of 20 employees to keep up with the demand for the drinks.[4] Sullivan led the company from sourcing 300 pounds of turmeric a year in its infancy to approximately 100,000 pounds per year by 2015, all obtained from the same farm in Hawaii.[6] He also led the company from local distribution to a national deal to supply Whole Foods Market with his company's products.[2]
Sullivan is a follower of Kundalini yoga and has been interviewed and profiled alongside his products by business and industry media, including BevNET,[6] Crain’s New York,[2] Entrepreneur,[1] Next Accelerator and more.[7]
