Lianne Mandelbaum
Founder & CEO
After a frightening brush with her young son's anaphylactic peanut allergy while traveling through Denver airport, Lianne Mandelbaum's eyes were opened to the challenges families face when flying with food allergies. During a family vacation, Lianne was confronted by a stranger questioning her cautiousness as she protected her son, Josh, from the risks of exposure to peanuts. This experience fueled her mission to advocate for greater awareness, compassion, and policy changes around food allergy safety in airports and on airplanes. Lianne Mandelbaum has since become a respected voice and founder of initiatives to make travel safer and more inclusive for all families navigating life with severe food allergies.
