I first met Olivia when she agreed to speak on the panel at the launch of The Midweek Mingles back in April 2018 and have since watched her incredible brand go from strength to strength. Having founded Livia's - renowned for it's vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free sweet treats - in her parents' kitchen four years ago, Olivia’s business has grown by 153% year on year, turning over seven figures comfortably in 2018.  

Discussing everything from how she’s had to learn on the job how to manage an ever growing team; the negative backlash she faced on social media in November 2018 when her site crashed after thousands of fans flocked to her website unexpectedly; the various fires she’s had to put out in her business; to her recently launched, 'Better Treat Yourself' campaign and why she’s changed her self-care routine in recent months to ensure that she’s the best possible CEO that she can be; Olivia's approach to running a business has been an inspiration since long before I launched She can. She did. and this quick chat with her only reinforced why that is so…
