Taking Your Seat at the Table with Aja Horsley – March 4, 2021

Women-only networks and mentorship opportunities are vital in leveling the playing field and building a more gender-balanced world - but Aja Horsley, CEO of Drizzle Honey, thinks women belong at every table where decisions are made.   

With a background in Environmental Science and Urban Agriculture development, Aja has led research projects and start-ups in this space with her passion for sustainable food production. She is currently the CEO of Drizzle Honey, a honey products company sold across North America that focuses on changing how the world uses honey. Aja is enthusiastic about bringing innovation to market and bolstering   female entrepreneurship.

She was also recently recognized as a Changemaker as part of the Inniskillin Changemaker Initiative, in partnership with Startup Canada. 

“As women, we need to join male networking circles. Don’t be afraid to join, sit at the table, and lean in. Make your business known.”

On this week’s Startup Women Podcast, sponsored by the Business Development Bank of Canada and Scotiabank, Aja discusses navigating B-Corp and Women-Owned Certifications, flexible work schedules as support for new mothers, and perfecting her “nap time hustle”.
