Bio
Claire Pelton is a career technologist with deep expertise in helping organizations across industries maximize impact through technology. She brings that same systems-thinking approach to her work at the intersection of community and mission-driven organizations. A graduate of Creighton University, Claire has spent her career at Salesforce as an Innovation Architect, partnering with companies of all sizes to solve complex challenges and drive meaningful change.
Claire's connection to Green City Market runs deep. She first discovered GCM as a volunteer shortly after moving to Chicago — drawn by a city whose food culture she had fallen in love with long before she arrived. She joined the Associate Board in 2021 and served as Associate Board Chair from 2024 to 2025 before joining the board. Passionate about food access, quality, and education, Claire is energized by the farmers, vendors, staff, and shoppers who make the GCM community what it is. She calls West Town home and considers Chicago's food scene one of the best reasons to stay.
