Our founder

Susana.

The idea was hers. So was the recipe.

Co-founder and creative lead of Yuupi Pets. She turned a pot of chicken broth in her Ottawa kitchen into CALM, and now leads product, suppliers and operations from the first batch to launch.

Background

Built on operations.

Before Yuupi, she spent more than fifteen years in operations, programs and people management, in Ottawa and Caracas: coordinating programs and project teams, supervising day-to-day operations and running HR processes. Today she brings that discipline to a small-batch kitchen.
