Founder of Bioko Treats, Jeanne started her chocolate making journey in December 2016 after training at Barry Callebaut Chocolate Academy. Her company was initially named Treat Confections,  but in late 2017, she changed the name to Bioko Treats.

Although she started out as a chocolatier, using couverture to make pralines, etc., she got into making bean to bar chocolates three years ago when a medical facility asked if she could make them sugar free chocolates for their diabetic patients. After taking an online class with Ecole Chocolat, she started making small batch dark chocolate.

Bioko treats currently produces approximately two tonnes of dark and milk chocolate per year. Having seen growth in both the bean to bar and confectionery sides of the business, Bioko Treats have begun to attract customers outside of Ghana.

Jeanne has really enjoyed helping one cocoa farmer with making her first batch of 70% chocolate and would like to do more of that. While her background is originally in marketing, she's had some experience in organizational mentoring and would like to bring this experience to the Cross Atlantic Collective.
