Renée Elliott (born 1964) is an American businesswoman, founder of Planet Organic, and co-founder of Beluga Bean.
[1][4] During a personal development course in Boston in 1991, Elliott was inspired by visits to different organic stores on her lunch breaks, including Bread & Circus.
She felt that there was an opportunity in the UK's organic food market segment and that she wanted to open her own stores in London.
[citation needed] In 2018, Elliott sold a stake of Planet Organic to Inverleith, a Scottish private equity firm in a deal estimated at around $15 million.
Elliott serves on the Soil Association's catering mark standards committee,[3] the Seven Hills Advisory Board for Purpose, the advisory board for Love Ocean, and as a non-executive director for NEMI Teas, a social enterprise.
