Alma Matters: With Riane Puno.

I truly garnered a lot of inspiration from this conversation with Minali, the Co-Founder and Head of Brand at Wild One, because her story is one I can identify with. Like me, she's from a different country, took the International Baccalaureate (IB kids, if you know you know), started her career at Bloomingdale's and is just a creative soul at heart. There's something special about finding a person who reflects your path and background and has achieved success. Look around for those people in your life – they're there. Back to Minali! After a stint at Bloomingdale's and then becoming one of the initial team members at Sweetgreen, the healthy and modern fast casual chain that has taken the US by storm, she landed at Wild One. As a pet lover, I'm obsessed with the thoughtful design and community they've fostered through the brand and she's had a lot to do with that.
