Mum­my­Mug BV is based in The Hague in the Nether­lands. Please meet the core peo­ple in the team who make Mum­my­Mug happen:

Cecilia Thorfinn
Founder and Man­ag­ing Director. 

Hi every­one, I’m Cecilia, a Swedish mother of a girl named Eleonore. I sup­pose I am an acci­den­tal entre­pre­neur, as my pro­fes­sional back­ground is in Euro­pean Affairs, and I worked as an inter­na­tional civil ser­vant at the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion in Brus­sels for 10 years from 1997 — 2007.

But all that changed for­ever one morn­ing in my kitchen in Brus­sels a few years ago. I was stand­ing with my new­born baby on one arm, and a cup of cof­fee in the other. The words of my brother, who is a plas­tic sur­geon and oper­ates on burns vic­tims,  was ring­ing in my ears – you must let your cup stand and cool off for a whole 15 min­utes before it is safe – water warmer than 60 degrees will cause a 3^rd degree burn within 3 sec­onds on your baby.

And then the thought sud­denly crossed my mind: I need a Mum­my­Mug. Some­thing that will allow me to still enjoy my drink with­out risk­ing caus­ing an acci­dent.  It would have to be some­thing styl­ish, and some­thing that closed up after every sip, so I would not have to worry about clos­ing a lid man­u­ally. The idea for the Mum­my­Mug had entered my heart and was not going to go away!

Since then I have been busy devel­op­ing the Mum­my­Mug prod­uct con­cept and am proud to bring it to mar­ket, to make the life of chil­dren a bit safer, and the life of moth­ers and fathers a lit­tle bit more relaxed. It has turned into a fully fledged enter­pre­neur­ial adven­ture; get­ting me in con­tact with amaz­ing peo­ple, tak­ing me to all sorts of places and pre­sent­ing me with a new chal­lenge every day.

Being a mother as well as an entre­pre­neur, I have found out I am earn­ing a place in a clan of brave, enthu­si­as­tic women out there, call­ing them­selves Mom­pre­neurs: women who choose to com­bine the joys and respon­si­bil­i­ties of par­ent­ing of a child, with the joys and respon­si­bil­i­ties of man­ag­ing a com­pany. I found it a great lifestyle: I prob­a­bly work more than ever, but I man­age my own time and can usu­ally bal­ance the var­i­ous ele­ments of my life.

If you want to know more about what moti­vates me to make my Mum­my­Mug dream come true, please fol­low my blog! Hop­ing to also hear about your ideas and inspi­ra­tions in life.
