Camilla
Marcus

When Camilla graduated with a culinary degree from the International Culinary Center, she didn’t just work her way through New York City’s most celebrated restaurants — she completely changed the industry. As a chef, entrepreneur, and activist, Camilla has dedicated her career to setting a sustainable example for the food industry, proving that a zero-waste and eco-conscious approach to hospitality was 100% possible.

Through her stewardship, Camilla has transformed what was once simply the first zero-waste neighborhood restaurant in SoHo — west~bourne — into a successful business enterprise that has expanded into a collection of plant-based, climate-positive home provisions.

As the co-founder of ROAR (Restaurants Organizing Advocating Rebuilding), Camilla’s diverse background as an entrepreneur, investor, advocate, and mother has driven her to inspire hundreds just like her. A staunch believer in women supporting women, Camilla’s relentless work in the hospitality industry is only just beginning.
