Manuela Zoninsein is the CEO and Founder of Chicago-based Kadeya, the world’s first closed loop beverage system. Kadeya’s patent-pending kiosk for the first time ever washes, sanitizes, inspects, and refills bottles, combining a bottling plant with a dishwasher and a soda fountain in a unit the size of a vending machine. We decentralize the entire linear and inefficient beverage supply chain to the point of use, eliminating costly and inefficient practices while delivering access to quality drinking water and hydration tracking tools to industrial populations, starting with construction sites.

Statement:

It’s more important to listen than to talk. Even a timely wrong decision is better than no decision. And, don’t half-heartedly wound problems—kill them dead.
