Today's guest is the wonderful Sophie Hall - Operations + Product Manager at Spoon Cereals.
Operations is rarely given the spotlight it deserves despite it being the backbone of a business. You can't grow a brand if you can't get products from A to B and everything that's involved in making that happen!
Brands need people as passionate about Ops like Sophie to help take care of things and it was great to dig into her journey, some of the tools she uses to streamline processes, her love of Disney - and SO much more.
There is SO much richness in this - I really hope you enjoy it!
As always thanks to our fantastic sponsor Mission Kitchen!
If you're a chef, baker of food brand looking to grow, then head on over to book a tour at their site in Nine Elms, London today.
Check out the ever growing Unfounders Song Selection playlist on Spotify.... it's WILD.
