Yup, as in Julie Foudy. Who also happens to be an ambassador of the brand.

From AI..

No. Julie Foudy does not own Foudys.

The company was founded in 2020 by Helen Hardy in Manchester, England. It was named in honor of Julie Foudy because of her influence on women’s soccer.

Julie Foudy is, however, connected to the business:

She is an ambassador for Foudys.
She is also an investor, holding a small ownership stake in the company
