Head of Sales

At La Vie, we love meat, but we don’t love its impact on life. We’re on a mission to help people move from an animal-based diet to a plant-based one, whilst keeping a big smile on their face. Our unique product technology and patented vegetal fat recipe, delivers the juiciest meat-like experiences ever known in the category. We are building a movement, a positive change for the industry and for the planet.
Come and join us.

From plants with Love.
