Our Origin Story

Who We Serve

  • The Modern Athlete

    You work hard and play hard. Performance is important to you and so is having something that gives you the leading edge to your friends.

  • Endurance Enthusiasts

    “It’s not worth the effort if I’m not out there for more than a couple of hours”. You love the grind and you’re in it for the journey.

  • The Healthy Indulger

    Conscious that a peaceful life is about balance, you take the time to look after yourself: mind, body, and soul.

  • Active Families

    If you aren’t attending one of your kids’ events, then your family unit is likely up in the hills biking, hiking, or skiing, and you sure know a happy family is a fuelled family.

Leading Team

Kristyn Carriere / Co-Founder & Chocolate Scientist

Kristyn Carriere has her BSc. in Nutrition and Food Science from the U of A ('09). It was her stint as a figure skating Princess with Disney on Ice that brought her to Europe. But the chance to create and launch some of the world's best known chocolate brands kept her there for a decade. Back in Canada to start this venture with her sister, she's using her chocolate industry chops to consult for well known brands in Western Canada. Oh, and fuelling her everyday marathoning efforts with chocolate!

Leanna Carriere / Co-Founder & Brand Essence

Leanna Carriere is the visionary behind 7 Summits Snacks. A triathlete, former national team pole vaulter, personal trainer extraordinaire and busy mom, she saw the gap in endurance fuelling before anyone else did and imagined a better way: real chocolate that works as hard as you do. She is also part of Wings of Survival, a conservation cycling expedition from Alaska to Patagonia that follows the routes of migratory birds. Because of her vision, our bars are crafted with ingredients everyone understands.

Jason Britton / General Manager & Team Athlete

Jason Britton has represented Canada on the world stage more times than most athletes dream of. With 45 World Championships under his belt across World Triathlon, Ironman, ÖtillÖ and Xterra, he knows firsthand what it takes to fuel the body through hours of racing, and why what you eat matters. When he isn’t competing, Jason coaches fellow endurance athletes, sharing the same lessons that shaped his own career. As General Manager, he brings that athlete’s discipline together with the business sense of his University of Alberta MBA (‘08) to lead 7 Summits Snacks on its path to growing nationwide.
