Andre Todd - GANO Founder
My name is Andre Todd, and I am the founder of GANO. I created this business with the vision of bringing flavorful, personally inspired seasonings to everyone’s kitchen. The heart of GANO lies in my lifelong passion for food, culture, and family.
My journey began through travelling the world, where I immersed myself in different cultures and learned from diverse traditions and heritages. Each experience expanded my appreciation for how food can tell a story, connect people, and reflect identity. Most importantly, my greatest source of inspiration has always been family. I grew up in an environment where food brought us together. Where cooking wasn’t just about a meal, but about love, connection, and belonging.
From these experiences, I developed my own unique taste, influenced by the cultures and disciplines I encountered. That passion led me to create GANO, a line of pre-mixed, ready-to-use seasonings designed to give people bold and authentic flavours with ease. These blends save time and money by eliminating the need for a wide variety of individual spices.
For me, GANO is more than a business. It’s a way to share my gift, my story, and my legacy. I want to be remembered for what is most important to me: family, culture, and flavour. Additionally, I used these passions to create something meaningful that brings people together through food.
