Alexandra Bekker, founder of Drink Nimbus, is on a mission to shake up plant-based milk and the sustainability issues that come with it.

đ Built a scalable operational setup thatâs taken Drink Nimbus into 100+ stores and countless homes
đ° Manages unit economics, cash flow, and digital ad spend with precision
