Jennifer Maxwell, founder and CEO of JAMBAR®

Transformed by Music, Organic Food and the Legacy of PowerBar®

JAMBAR, a woman-owned company, was founded by Jennifer Maxwell, an athlete, food and nutrition scientist and a musician, who, along with her late husband Brian, in 1985 created the original PowerBar®.

Back then, living in a small apartment in Berkeley and inventing the original PowerBar® in their kitchen, Jennifer and Brian had no idea they were launching the entire energy bar category. They successfully sold the PowerBar business in 2000. Today, the energy bar category, valued at nearly $5 billion globally, is one of the most vibrant product sections in any retail food store. 

Now, inspired by her family and the continuation of her and Brian’s mission of innovation, quality and nutrition — combined with Jennifer’s love of music, active living and organic food and farming — Jennifer is back with a product for a new generation of healthy consumers: JAMBAR, a premium-quality artisan organic energy bar that delivers great taste and nutrition. 

Using only certified organic, whole food ingredients, JAMBARs are crafted in the company’s own, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Made with organic ancient grains, berries, nuts, premium chocolate, proteins from sunflowers and organic dairy, and real maple syrup, juices and honey as sweeteners, JAMBAR, available in four flavors, delivers a convenient, incredibly tasty bar you can take anywhere.  

“We are very pleased and honored to partner with the 2022 Sound Summit and the Roots & Branches Conservancy,” said Jennifer. “Mount Tamalpais is very important to me; I grew up in the area, and Brian and I were married on Mount Tam. Music, too, has become important in my life and a huge emphasis for the company,” said Jennifer. “It’s why our slogan is ‘Get Your JAM On®,’” she added.

“We feel that JAMBAR’s goals and passions, both within and beyond our local community, align perfectly with our own,” says Michael Nash, Executive Producer of the Sound Summit and Board President of Roots & Branches. “In that sense, we find them to be an organic partner in every sense of the word and feel fortunate having them aboard to lend a caring hand to our creative endeavor.” 

With 50% of profits benefitting music, community and active lifestyles, JAMBAR supports a number of causes including the California Jazz Conservatory, Bread and Roses, Positive Coaching Alliance, Marin County Bicycle Coalition and more.
