Siggi Hilmarsson
- Founder of Siggi’s Dairy
- Alumni Profiles
When Siggi Hilmarsson ’04 first moved from Iceland to New York to attend Columbia Business School in 2002, he quickly found he missed one of his favorite Icelandic staples — skyr, a thick, strained, high-protein yogurt. He started making his own skyr at home with his mother’s recipe, and the winning approval of friends encouraged him to expand to a dairy in a rented space upstate in 2005 and launch Siggi’s Dairy.
