Manuela Zoninsein

Manuela Zoninsein is an entrepreneur, and founder of 3 companies, and is on a mission to eradicate single-use plastics with her latest endeavor named Kadeya.

As a Brazilian-American fluent in Mandarin-Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese, she takes a global and inclusive view in everything she does. 

Her company Kadeya is disrupting unsustainable supply chains by building an interlinked circular network where materials are infinitely reused. It is a closed-loop water vending service powered by digitally-connected reusable water bottles and mini bottling stations. They deliver convenient, quality, low-cost water that reduces carbon footprints and digitizes water consumption for users.
