Briefly

I'm the pregnant CEO of a luxury bean company. I'm on flex-time before the baby comes - here's a day in my life.
"When I founded Bold Bean Co. in 2021, I was working at a sustainability company in London and had become obsessed with the idea that beans could solve many of the world's problems. I juggled my job and Bold Bean Co. for about a year before I went full-time with my business that fall. Beans are so fundamental to soil health and our journey toward net zero, and from a diet perspective, they've just been completely overlooked in the West."
"I have 20 employees, and we're a remote-first business. I'm based in Barcelona, but I often go back to London, where I started the business (our products are only available in the UK). I have colleagues in Valencia and Edinburgh because I think people should be able to live wherever makes them happiest and most productive. I work from home, unless I'm meeting one of my four team members who are also based in Barcelona. Here's what a day in my life is like."
Bold Bean Co. launched in 2021 while its founder worked at a sustainability company in London, with the founder juggling both roles for about a year before going full-time that fall. The company focuses on promoting beans for soil health, emissions reductions, and dietary benefits such as gut health, fiber, and protein. The business operates as remote-first with 20 employees, is based in Barcelona, and sells products only in the UK. Team members are distributed across Valencia, Edinburgh, and London. Daily routine details include waking at 7:45 a.m., pregnancy-related hunger, eating protein-rich breakfasts like eggs, and needing coffee.
