What I Do
Founder and CEO of an organic food manufacturing and retailing business
London, England, UK

While at business school, I started an organic coffee shop on campus, which expanded to more stores and a food manufacturing operation. We now supply one of the biggest supermarket chains in the U.K., as well as some specialty food businesses.  As chief executive officer, I have many areas of direct responsibility—one of the best aspects of the job is product development.
