Beata Kirr on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

In full disclosure, I met my guest Beata Kirr at a presentation that I was convinced was going to be fairly boring. I actually thought it was going to give me thirty minutes to scan my email feed and swipe right to delete : -). Guess what? I was wrong. Once I heard Beata share some of the most recent research on women and money, I put my phone away and grabbed a pen and paper.

Beata Kirr is the National Managing Director in the Alliance Bernstein Chicago office. She was appointed Head of Private Client Core Asset Strategies of Bernstein in 2017. Beata is a member of Bernstein’s Private Client Investment Policy Group, which oversees strategic asset allocation for high-net-worth, nonprofit and family clients.

Angela Sutherland and Evelyn Rusli on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

When Angela Sutherland was pregnant with her first child, she discovered that the options for healthy, tasty, nutrient and dense baby food didn’t exist. Initially, it was a scary thought, but she saw opportunity which led to her partnering with good friend Evelyn Rusli and launching Yumi.

Yumi is a nutrition & wellness based company providing quality meals for the first 1,000 days of your child’s life. Yumi meals are fresh, organic, packed with nutrition and delivered RIGHT TO YOUR FRONT DOOR.

Both Co-Founders of Yumi are a force to be reckoned with. Angela Sutherland, the CEO and Co-Founder of Yumi, was formerly an investment banker at Goldman Sacks and is skilled at businesses and operations. Evelyn Rusli, the President and Co-Founder of Yumi, previously was a journalist at the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times covering startups and innovation.

On today’s show, Angela and Evelyn talk about the best action step they’ve taken so far in their company and it is spot on. They talk about how to scale accurately as they move across the country, and what they hold onto in their tough days. Also, Angela and Evelyn share their biggest challenges in business and a whole lot more.
