From school markets to supermarkets, Pesto Princess is Cape Town’s favourite foodie feast and is the alter ego to Kathleen Quillinan, opera-singer turned entrepreneur. ‘Unflappable’ comes to mind when describing Kathleen. Generous, abundant, determined, tenacious and wise follow shortly after. But arguably the most remarkable thing about this insightful business owner is that she is unashamedly unconventional. And therein lies her success. Not one to play down her strengths by trying to ‘fit in’, Kathleen is unequivocally authentic in everything she does, whether in front of a market trestle table or in the boardroom. For her, generosity over greed, community over cutback, and planet over profit make this not only a business journey but also a spiritual one.
