Hali Mo quit her corporate job to start Hali Home Bakes after attending pastry school in Paris. Mo said she found her corporate job unfufilling and that she used to wake up to a sense of dread. I joined McKinsey as a business analyst, then moved into design consulting before becoming a product manager at a startup. Pastry school in Paris changed everythingBaking was my serious hobby for years. If someone had asked me for one bucket-list item, it would have been attending pastry school in France.
