CBM is the co-founder of AKUA, a modern brand on a mission to become a household name for sustainable, seagreens-based foods. She began her career in kelp as an adviser to GreenWave, a nonprofit that supports the regenerative ocean farming industry.
Her love of food doesn't stop at the sea. She was the first investor in her husband's business Unframed Ice Cream, a Cape Town based ice cream brand that was named #1 in the world in 2019.
When she's not hustling sea vegetables and vegan ice cream, CBM is a Global Community Ambassador to Summit, a community and events company that brings together innovators and creatives for immersive events.
