Bonnie Harvey is the co-founder of Barefoot Cellars, where she was Vice President for 19 years. While Michael's role was big picture visionary, Bonnie translated his ideas into workable processes and displayed a genius for managing the millions of details that come with a start-up. She proved to possess a rare combination of creativity and business savvy that served Barefoot well. In the early days, Bonnie was responsible for bottling oversight, supply inventory and label design. In fact, the famous footprint is actually hers! Later, she focused on overview and direction of the business, company goals, and board matters. She managed all financial aspects of the business, oversaw legal relations and compliance, and edited countless press materials, presentations, official manuals and other documents. Bonnie also donates professional time to non-profits to help them improve their image, increase donations, and achieve financial sustainability. With Michael, she coauthors 2 weekly business blogs at www.thebarefootspirit.com and www.consumerbrandbuilders.com, and consults with several clients. Bonnie has a passion for helping young entrepreneurs choose the right path. With her varied hard-knocks experience, she offers practical solutions for all aspects of starting a business. She and Michael shared their tales with Rick Kushman, who wrote The Barefoot Spirit, and she also edited the book.
