Breeze's Annabel Lawee, how do you make airport food not suck?

Originally from Montreal, Annabel Lawee began her career in the start-up world as employee #8 at Eko. Leading business development, sales & partnerships, Annabel was constantly in and out of airports and struggled to find healthy, yet convenient food choices. What started as a personal struggle, manifested into Breeze, an on-demand food service on a mission to provide all airport travelers convenient access to real, wholesome food. Breeze launched at LAX in Dec 2019, just 3 months before Covid-19 shut down its' operations overnight. Given ample time to build resilience, Breeze successfully re-launched with an evolved offering, appealing to a larger, more inclusive audience, and is now forging a path to redefine the way food is ordered and consumed during travel.

In this episode of How Do You Do? Podcast, Ben asks Annabel about what personally drove her to found Breeze; how she broke into the bureaucratic, old-school business of airports without prior experience in the field; how she raised $1.5 million off a PowerPoint slide that said "Airport food sucks!"; and more.
