About Paul

Paul Fregia (free-JAY), Grandma Maud’s Founder and President, grew up in the South, where he learned to appreciate the wonderful food his maternal grandmother Maud simmered, stirred and served from her kitchen. He began Grandma Maud’s, Inc. as a tribute to her memory. Paul’s fondness for southern-style comfort food has helped drive the authentic flavors and convenient preparation Grandma Maud’s is famous for.

Before establishing Grandma Maud’s, Inc., Paul gained ten years of food industry expertise as a Vice President of a national supplier to McDonald’s. Additionally, he has held management positions with Damron, Container Corporation and Hewlett-Packard. He boasts numerous achievements in manufacturing, engineering, information systems and finance.

Paul also served as business confidant to Tiger Woods and his family for over five years. As an original member of “Team Tiger,” he was responsible for orchestrating the transformation of the young phenom into a professional golfer. He acted as agent on the best seller “Training a Tiger” by Earl Woods, and was the founding Executive Director of the Tiger Woods Foundation.

Paul Fregia holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from Lamar University and a MBA from the Krannert Graduate School of Management at Purdue University.
