James Boettcher

Righteous Gelato

Born and raised in Calgary, Canada, James knew that whatever his life’s work would turn out to be, doing good and having fun would need to be at the heart of it. Acquiring what would become Righteous with nothing more than a dream and a commitment to doing whatever it takes, James has ensured that his once small gelato company has become a force for good and the kind of company you would want your mom or dad to work for.

‍

Righteous Gelato is on a mission to enrich people’s lives one tiny spoonful at a time, and we do this by investing in community organizations that work to reduce poverty and food insecurity, end domestic violence, and provide opportunities for the next generation. We are a certified B Corp meaning we use business as a force for good for our people, planet and community.
