Nicole is the Co-Founder and CEO of Green Sheep Water. After learning that 1,500 plastic bottles are used in the US every singe second, and that most of them end up in landfills and oceans, she decided to create a better bottled water company. By replacing plastic bottles with 100% aluminum bottles, which are the most recycled and recyclable beverage containers out there (more than plastic, glass, and yes, even cartons), Green Sheep Water gives people a more eco-friendly alternative that does not sacrifice convenience. Green Sheep Water launched in November 2014 in Chicago, where Nicole is also pursuing her MBA at Chicago Booth.
