Elley is the founder of NOIA Chocolate, a Melbourne-based company crafting clean, allergen-friendly chocolate made from premium Peruvian cacao. With a commitment to health and integrity, NOIA is free from refined sugars, emulsifiers, and additives—born from Elley’s own wellness journey and her vision for better-for-you indulgence.

In this conversation, Elley will share her journey of building ethical businesses with purpose, the challenges and opportunities of food and tech entrepreneurship, and how she bridges creativity, technology, and sustainability to push industries forward.
