David Lester’s career would be impressive enough from the past alone, but Olipop’s conquest of the US cements his efforts as a tour de force.
The prebiotic, RTD soda brand is a poster child for startup success, hot off the back of a decade in global experience, giving David an invaluable perspective like no other.
Join us on You, Me & CPG as we discover his great influences, California’s wonderful relationship with business failure, and why compounding decisions can be the difference in whether you sink or swim.
