Making meals, and making them matter.

Our Story

Both Jane and Jenny are active moms, devoted wives, and very, very busy. Jane was frazzled over trying to pull off dinner for the family week after week. Her meal plans were scribbled on napkins and lost in her purse. So she went to work creating a better way to make meals happen. Along the way, Jane recruited Jenny, who is not only a fabulous cook, but also happens to be her sister.

Working with a talented team of professional meal planners, experienced home cooks and technical gurus, they developed eMeals to feed their families and preserve their sanity. Hundreds of thousands of relationships later, Jane and Jenny built a way to make moms’ lives easier — and to bring families together at mealtime.

Leadership Team

Forrest Collier, CEO

Forrest is responsible for the overall growth and strategy of eMeals as the leading foodtech platform integrating meal inspiration with online grocery shopping. A seasoned entrepreneur, Forrest was previously CEO of InternetSafety.com, which sold to McAfee, and was a Co-Founder and COO of Highland Capital Holding Corporation. Forrest attended Auburn University and received his MBA from Vanderbilt. With deep family roots in Louisiana, Forrest enjoys food with lots of flavor, spice and variety.

Jane DeLaney, President

As both the brains and the heart behind eMeals, Jane founded the company to simplify dinner for her family and yours. Having solved the daily dinner dilemma for hundreds of thousands of busy people, Jane is a widely recognized expert on how to eat well while saving money. She now focuses her time on developing new products, features and markets for eMeals. Growing up in a large Southern family that valued spending time together, Jane and her own family of six gather for healthy but hearty meals with items such as grilled fish, roasted vegetables, whole grain pastas and fresh fruits.

Jenny Cochran, EVP and Co-Founder

Having co-founded eMeals with her sister, Jenny helped define the eMeals culture and was instrumental in the original design and publishing of the meal plans. An avid cook, Jenny gravitates to Southern comfort food, pickles and peppers of any kind, healthy dishes with strong flavors and most ethnic foods. Jenny’s motivation for eMeals came from a love of food and more importantly a love for her family of five whose favorite meals include Chicken Divan, beef enchiladas, breakfast foods and a low country boil on special occasions.

Aaron Kenny, CTO

Aaron is basically the creative genius giving direction to the technical side of eMeals. Previously Aaron was the Co-Founder and CTO of InternetSafety.com where he developed the family protection software that was rated #1 by Consumer Reports, PC Magazine and by parents in over 150 countries. Following the sale of InternetSafety.com, Aaron shepherded the product within McAfee as a Director of Engineering. Equal parts right and left-brain, Aaron likes to champion game-changing ideas that solve real life problems. When Aaron cranks up the Big Green Egg his BBQ Ribs are always a hit. Most recently he’s turned his attention to the pursuit of turning the simplest of ingredients into the perfect Neapolitan pizza.

His wife and two daughters are not impressed, but nonetheless are quick to praise his Carolina-style barbecue pork. In his spare time, Scott can be found running through the streets of Birmingham in preparation for his next marathon.
