Koel Thomae is the co-founder of noosa yoghurt, a creamy and delicious yoghurt like no other. On a trip home to Australia, Koel discovered a locally made yoghurt at a corner shop, and one taste sparked an obsession that would ultimately change her life. Inspired to bring the best tasting yoghurt to the United States, she founded noosa in 2009. Today, noosa is sold in 25,000+ stores nationwide and Koel continues to be instrumental in the brand’s growth. She’s involved in the day-to-day operations, shapes company culture and has expanded her team of 35 to 150 in under four years, all while traveling the world to draw inspiration for noosa’s new flavors which now total 23 (and growing) delicious options.
