In our last episode of season 1 and of the year, we are bringing back our first and one of our most loved and listened to episodes featuring Olivia Petrou, the founder and CEO of Olive & Fig.

Olivia shares her journey of leaving her corporate job to start her luxury charcuterie and food experience brand. Growing up in a Greek household, Olivia was surrounded by food and gatherings, which inspired her love for creating beautiful and abundant charcuterie boards. She went through a difficult breakup before finding herself and starting Olive & Fig. With the support of her now husband George, Olivia built a successful business that offers on-demand charcuterie board delivery. She emphasizes the importance of listening, trusting her intuition, and putting her needs first.

Takeaways

  • Olivia emphasizes the importance of listening, trusting her intuition, and putting her needs first in order to excel in her business and personal life.
  • She credits her background in recruitment for her ability to find valuable employees and build a supportive team.
