Wholsum Foods (Slurrp Farm and Millé)’s Post

What am I most proud of? That was easy Sonalie Figueiras: The team at TiNDLE Foods . I recently had the honor of sharing my thoughts in an interview post-announcement of my departure as CEO from TiNDLE. As I look back, I am filled with gratitude for the milestones we've achieved: a strong financial foundation, a brand that has earned global respect, a solid infrastucture, great products, a promising pipeline and a team whose dedication has propelled us into major markets with unprecedented speed. The much leaner structure and much longer runway as a result of a deep restructuring exercise during 2023 hasn’t stopped us from growing, with volumes more than doubling from the previous year, a testament to our team's hard work and the innovative products that have won hearts across continents. This growth, coupled with a culture of resilience and adaptability, has set us on a sustainable path for the future. I shared insights on the importance of a measured approach to growth -especially when responding to both capital crunch and a slower category growth-, the complex interplay of consumer behavior, and the necessity for plant-based brands to innovate and educate continuously. As I transition to new adventures, my commitment to fostering sustainable practices and supporting the next wave of innovation remains steadfast. I'm excited about the road ahead, not just for myself, but for the plant-based industry. The full interview is a reflection of our collective journey at TiNDLE—full of challenges, learnings, and triumphs. I invite you to read it and share your thoughts with me. Let's continue to inspire and lead the charge towards a more sustainable future. #Leadership #Sustainability #TiNDLE #venturebuilding

Two days in NYC and the only photo I took was inside a conference hall. Regardless, BevNET.com LIVE was a great experience full of everything from inspirational new brands+founders to powerful insights from proven leaders in the beverage industry. (Congrats to Pretty Tasty Tea for winning the New Beverage Showdown!) My single biggest takeaway: Obsession is key. In a day where the 11am presentation featured Yanni Hufnagel and his obsession to wake-up each morning and chase massive sales goals, and the 2pm presentation highlighted Reza Mirza and his equally inspirational obsession to protect margin at all costs, I kept coming back to the Selima Hill line "Talent is only 10%. The rest is obsession." (not to be confused with Yogi Berra's baseball is 90% mental and the other half physical). Bottom line: Countless teams and brands have the talent required to win in beverage, but to truly succeed in this crazy industry requires finding your obsession and, well, obsessing over it.
