Meet the Super Sprowtz Team!
Radha Agrawal
Radha is the creator of Super Sprowtz. She passionately believes that the current conversation with children about food can be improved. After opening Slice, a locally sourced organic pizzeria (sliceperfect.com) with her twin sister, Miki, she designed a children’s menu that inspired her idea to create the Super Sprowtz. Alarmed by what she saw as a growing obesity epidemic among urban children, she became committed to changing the way children eat. This, combined with her years of experience in story-telling as a commercial and film producer, led her to create the Super Sprowtz. It is her belief that through entertaining story lines, catchy music, and lovable characters, children can see vegetables and nutrition differently. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University where she also played Varsity soccer. She currently lives, paints, bikes and eats locally (likely at Slice) in New York City.
Bill Levey
Passionate about food, life, people and social change, Bill Levey joined Super Sprowtz after practicing law for six years with a focus on intellectual property and corporate matters. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Bill worked in the music business managing artists, producing live shows and touring with bands including the Dave Matthews Band. He moved to New York to join the Partnership Marketing group at BMG Entertainment, and for three years, he produced and talent managed over 75 performers for annual fundraisers at Studio 54 for the non-profit organization Change for Kids. As the son of a high school teacher and a doctor, issues of health and education have been important to Bill his whole life. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Indiana University and a JD from American University in Washington DC. He is an avid photographer, especially underwater, and he currently lives, plays guitar, cooks and bikes locally in New York City.
Jake Bronstein
Jake likes to think of himself at the world’s first FUNtrapanuer. A former magazine editor, he is co-founder of Maxfield & Oberton, the maker of Buckyballs and Flint & Tinder, premium, made in the USA underwear. As an advisor to Super Sprowtz, he lends a hand with all things marketing and retail. Fun Fact: Though he claims to love jalapenos, no one has ever actually seen him eat one.
MIKI AGRAWAL (Miki Mushroom)
Partner
Miki is Radha’s twin sister and joins the Super Sprowtz team as marketing and public relations director. At 25 years old, Miki built Slice the Perfect Food (sliceperfect.com), an organic pizzeria without prior restaurant or business management background (although her investment banking and film production background gave her the right problem solving tools to make it happen). Miki opened her second SLICE location in the West Village and is working on developing more locations in NYC and in other cities as well as building her wholesale side to SLICE. She recently launched her pizza kits which will eventually be sold in supermarkets nation-wide. She currently lives, bikes, plays soccer and eats organic pizza in New York City.
