The People Behind Doselva
Doselva’s leadership brings together decades of experience in rural development, regenerative agriculture, sustainable finance, academia, social enterprise, and international business.
Jefferson Shriver
Co-Founder & CEO of Doselva
For more than three decades, his work has centered on rural communities, sustainable agriculture, and the question of how farmers can capture more value from the products they grow. That experience ultimately led him to co-found Doselva in 2017 as a different kind of ingredient company—one built around long-term relationships at origin, regenerative production, local processing, and direct connections to market.
Today, Jefferson leads Doselva’s work across Central America, partnering with farmers, communities, and leading food and botanical brands to build stronger and more resilient sourcing systems. At the heart of his work is a simple belief: lasting supply chains are built not only by buying crops, but by investing in the people, landscapes, infrastructure, and partnerships that make thriving origins possible.
Aaron Sachowitz
Co-Founder & Board Secretary
Professor of Communication
Aaron has been a professor at Saint Mary’s College of California in the SF Bay Area for almost 2 decades where he teaches on the intersection of media technologies and culture. A focus on Food Justice brought Aaron to Nicaragua in 2011 and several subsequent trips with students and for research led to the creation of Doselva as a social enterprise leveraging high value spices and botanicals to support social and economic outcomes for smallholder farmers and their communities while taking care of the environment.
In addition to an MA and PhD in Communication, Aaron recently completed a Master’s degree in Cooperativism and Social Business Management with a focus on democratic and cooperative organizational structures.
