6. You are the mother of a little girl and currently pregnant, how do you combine all this with running VINADA?

Luckily I have wonderful colleagues so I definitely don't need to do it all by myself. And we count ourselves very lucky that Isabelle has lovely grandparents who love to babysit her on a weekly basis. For me it's all about Efficiency and Flexibility. I thought I was pretty efficient before our daughter was born, but found out I managed to further improve this skill since then ;-). Flexibility is what comes with running a business. With VINADA I can be much more flexible in organizing my time. I love the fact that if I want to spend some extra time with our daughter, with nice weather for example, I take her to the beach and will catch up on my work in the evening when she goes to bed. I appreciate this flexibility and see this as a huge advantage.

7. What is your favorite Mocktail?

That will be the Grapefruit Sparkle, it's lovely!

8. What are - in your opinion - the best VINADA - food combinations?

For me this will be the Oysters with our Crispy Chardonnay or a Steak Tartare with our Tinteling Tempranillo. CAN'T WAIT! I guess these will be two of the first dishes I'd order once our baby is born :-).

9. What are your goals? With VINADA, our goal is to become the world's Nr. 1 premium alcohol free sparkling wine brand, and above all, contribute to the acceptance of non-alcoholic wine, from “are you not drinking tonight?” to “what are you drinking tonight?”. Maintaining a strong work-life balance is critical to keeping yourself happy and productive. Being nr. 1 doesn’t just mean building an empire. To me it means achieving succes in all aspects of life, whether this is about receiving a huge order or simply being there for the people most important to you.
