Breanna Neff, a Cornell University alumna with a B.S. in Food Science & Technology, Business, Nutrition, and Health, is a visionary Certified Food Scientist and the driving force behind both brelixi and Brelixi Wellness Solutions (BWS). Her career includes impactful roles at industry leaders like Danone, Evian, and Daily Harvest, where she honed her skills in R&D, functional product development, commercialization, and FDA compliance.

Fueled by a passion for cannabis, homeopathic remedies, and functional ingredients, Breanna has birthed brelixi (featured in VICE, Esquire, Essence). This innovative venture offers meticulously crafted, ready-to-mix drink blends and functional supplement powders that reimagine how we engage with cannabis. Brelixi not only reflects Breanna's academic prowess and industry experience but also showcases her aim to destigmatize cannabis culture and elevate the user experience.

Building on brelixi's success, Breanna then established Brelixi Wellness Solutions (BWS), an R&D and private-label consultancy arm. BWS leverages her deep food science knowledge to provide cutting-edge product development services to a wider range of partners in the hospitality and wellness sectors. This expansion allows her to extend her innovative capabilities and empower other brands in the rapidly evolving functional wellness market.

Relying on her robust industry network, scientific expertise, and profound drive for product innovation, Breanna is setting new standards in both the cannabis-infused consumables and broader functional wellness industries.
