Robyn Fisher

An ice cream fanatic with a knack for invention, Robyn Sue founded Smitten Ice Cream in 2009 to spread joy and create the freshest, most flavorful ice cream on Earth. After ditching her corporate consulting career, she immersed herself in all things ice cream and became increasingly bothered by modern industry's complicated ingredients and focus on shelf-life. So, she invented her own patented machine to perfect the art of churning pure, fresh scoops to-order in 90 seconds using liquid nitrogen and only the very best ingredients. She first put Smitten on the map when she placed her custom-built “Brrr®” machine atop a Radio Flyer® wagon and started selling her churned-to-order ice cream on the streets of San Francisco to the crowds that gathered, soon building a cult-like following.

From those humble beginnings came Smitten’s first shop in San Francisco in 2011.  The company now has two bustling retail locations in the Bay Area.  Touted by Vogue as “The freshest, if not the best, ice cream on Earth,” and featured in a vast array of media, from Food & Wine and Forbes to Wired and TechCrunch, Smitten is setting the bar for mastery of the perfect scoop.  Robyn is an alumna and scholar athlete of Williams College, received her MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and is an inventor on 9 patents.
