A few weeks ago I had the privilege of sharing the stage at this year’s BevNET.com LIVE with two amazing beverage founders, Pauline Idogho and Karl Franz Williams to discuss the importance of having diverse founders and brands within the food & beverage landscape, and the many hurdles (and victories) we experience along the way. I am truly thankful to the entire BevNet team for platforming this conversation, and to Jeff Klineman for having the courage to moderate it. There’s still a lot of work needing to be done and I am confident that if we are open, honest and willing to do the work collectively, we can get it done! #inclusivity #equity #diversity #cpg #beverage #food #founders #bmorekind
