Mary Waldner
Chairman and Co-Founder
As founder of Mary’s Gone Crackers, Mary Waldner leads both product
development and brand strategy for the company. Inspired by her own
struggles with Celiac Disease, Waldner created Mary’s Gone Crackers
after finding a shortage of nutritious, gluten-free options that tasted
good. Her handcrafted recipe became a hit not only with Celiac
sufferers, but with consumers eager for delicious snacks they could feel
good about eating. Mary’s Gone Crackers Original Cracker was
awarded the SOFI Gold for the most outstanding cracker at the
NASFT 2008 product awards in New York City.
Waldner is a member of the Organic Trade Association and the Celiac
Sprue Association.
Prior to co-founding Mary’s Gone Crackers, Waldner practiced as a psychotherapist for 26 years;
she holds a master’s degree in clinical psychology and is a licensed marriage and family therapist.
Waldner is married to Dale Rodrigues with whom she created Mary’s Gone Crackers. She resides in
Paradise, CA.
