Hali Mo built the kind of CV that usually points toward a corner office. She went from Stanford to a summer analyst job at McKinsey, stayed on as a consultant, moved into design consulting, and then became a senior product manager at the trucking startup CloudTrucks. She left all of it to bake.
Today she runs Hali Home Bakes, a French-Asian microbakery in San Francisco that she says now turns out around 400 pastries a week.
