Juliet’s career began in education, where she served as Head of Education at RoSPA. However, her passion for health and performance led her to make a bold move into the world of sports nutrition in 2007, joining Fusion as a distributor. It was in 2010 that Juliet truly made her mark, co-founding Grenade, a performance nutrition brand that grew rapidly into a global powerhouse. Through her role as Chief Marketing Officer, she spearheaded the company’s explosive growth, securing international recognition and building a brand that resonated with athletes and everyday consumers across more than 100 countries.
Over the past decade, Juliet’s impact has extended far beyond Grenade. She was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2014, and won Great British Entrepreneur of the Year in 2018. As a mentor for Virgin StartUp and Virgin Unite, she’s helped guide the next generation of founders. Her strategic insight has earned her non-executive director roles at innovative companies such as LoveRaw and Booch & Brew. In 2023, her influence was formally recognised when she was named one of Awards Intelligence’s Top 100 Influential People. Most recently, she joined Juice as a consultant in 2025, continuing to shape the future of disruptive consumer brands.
