Maya French: Vehicle for change

Meet the co-founder of plant-based beverage company Koia and get a glimpse into her life in Los Angeles.

As an entrepreneur based in Los Angeles, where wellness and driving are elemental, Maya French places a high premium on the daily driving experience. “Your car is a reflection of yourself and your values. I feel really good driving the Polestar 2. It makes me feel one with the external environment.”

When Maya started Koia seven years ago, it was for people like her – uncompromising in their commitment to health and sustainability, even when it comes to their post-workout protein shake. When she couldn’t find one that met her standards, she created one. 

“Drive is determination, grit, hard work, and passion. I have drive.”
