How do you redesign an entire industry without asking people to change how they live? In this episode of Unbottled, Manuela sits down with Kadeya’s cofounder and Chief Product Officer, Denis Lussault, to unpack his personal journey from Formula 1 dreams and warehouse robotics to building the world’s first closed-loop beverage system. Denis explains how decades of experience across industries shaped the way Kadeya is designing smarter, circular systems — and why solving climate problems starts with solving operational ones. In this conversation, you’ll learn: Why the real problem isn’t the bottle — it’s the system behind it How robotics and automation make sustainability scalable How AI helps optimize hardware, supply chains, and customer experience Denis’s leadership philosophy and product vision Lessons from Formula 1, startups, and team sports that now shape Kadeya’s culture Why climate impact requires systems thinking, not surface fixes You’ll also hear about Denis’s path in startups and reimagining hydration infrastructure — plus basketball analogies, bikes-as-thinking tools, and what it takes to build something that people actually want to use. Because the future of beverages isn’t about better bottles. It’s about better systems. 🎧 Listen + watch + subscribe on:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7sn4ieFrES9w57JpPy1bZP?si=dgrSACowQPem6Z2Fka5uFQYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx_TtQyfDXs
