商界有女初長(zhǎng)成：美國(guó)25歲以下的創(chuàng)業(yè)新星
|
????卡車上的俏廚娘 ????Nom Nom Truck餐飲車 ????年齡：25歲???? ????Nom Nom Truck餐飲車主要在洛杉磯和舊金山地區(qū)為Banh Mi越南三明治和其他越南菜館服務(wù)。2009年，米薩?錢與26歲的珍尼弗?格林一起創(chuàng)辦了這家公司。現(xiàn)在這家公司已經(jīng)在沒有外部投資的情況下實(shí)現(xiàn)了增長(zhǎng)，它在洛杉磯擁有兩臺(tái)卡車，15名員工；在舊金山擁有一臺(tái)卡車，7名員工。米薩?錢無需告訴員工們應(yīng)該怎么做，她用行動(dòng)說話。公司創(chuàng)業(yè)初期，她親自開著第一臺(tái)Nom Nom Truck餐飲車，每天檢查卡車的燃料，然后跳上卡車去送貨每天吃的都是Banh Mi三明治。這樣的日子整整過了三個(gè)月。 ????“盡管這是一個(gè)男性主宰的行業(yè)，但只要工作賣力，追隨自己的夢(mèng)想，仍然能獲得成功，”她說。不過她也承認(rèn)創(chuàng)業(yè)并不總是一帆風(fēng)順的。作為美食頻道（Food Network）“美食車大賽”（The Great Food Truck Race）節(jié)目的最后兩支決賽團(tuán)隊(duì)之一，現(xiàn)在米薩?錢終于可以長(zhǎng)出一口氣了。米薩?錢最關(guān)心的就是增長(zhǎng)，她暗示Nom Nom Truck“將會(huì)把公司的移動(dòng)性帶入更高的水平，而且我們的移動(dòng)性將不僅僅局限于卡車。” ????譯者：樸成奎 |
????Misa Chien ????Nom Nom Truck ????Age: 25 ????Nom Nom Truck serves up Banh Mi and other Vietnamese-inspired dishes to customers in Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 2009, Misa Chien started the company with 26-year-old Jennifer Green. Now, the company has grown without outside funding -- a team of 15 operates two trucks in Los Angeles, and seven employees run the truck in San Francisco. And Chien has no issue telling her truckers what to do: Early on, she drove Nom Nom's first truck for three months and got into a routine of checking the propane, jumpstarting the vehicle, and eating Banh Mi every day. ????"In a male dominated industry, you can still excel if you work really hard and follow your dreams," Chien says, admitting it wasn't always easy. As one of the final two teams on the Food Network series, The Great Food Truck Race, last year, Chien can take a deep breath. Chien is focused on growth, hinting that Nom Nom "will be taking mobility to the next level, in other ways of mobility besides just the truck." |
