Nicole Centeno is a French Culinary Institute-trained chef, cookbook author, mother and the founder and CEO of Splendid Spoon, a meal-delivery platform that offers 50+ ready-to-eat, plant- based meals. A Condé Nast alum, Nicole has always been passionate about food; well before founding Splendid Spoon, Nicole immersed herself in the culinary world where she worked at pop-ups, catered and taught cooking and nutrition courses at Columbia University in her free-time. It wasn’t until her first pregnancy in 2012, when Nicole decided to leave her corporate career to pursue food full-time. Like many of her peers, Nicole realized how unattainable it was to achieve a wellness-driven lifestyle with a 9-to-5 job and the day-to-day demands of life. This inspired her to launch Splendid Spoon and eventually informed Splendid Spoon’s mission to offer accessible, nutritious and delicious plant-based fare to everyday Americans.
