Chocolena Co-Founder Jim Weiss believes in celebrating life right now. After selling his financial services business, he explored his love of chocolate by studying at Ecole Chocolat in Vancouver and Valrhona in France. He then began his first venture, Pomfret Chocolates, where he hosted popup chocolate shops, tastings and chocolate events for businesses.

In 2022, Jim joined forces with his daughter, Hadley Rosen, whose career in marketing and communications brought new insight into the company. Also a graduate of Vancouver’s Ecole Chocolat, Hadley has helped to reimagine Pomfret Chocolates to create Chocolena, a customer-focused business with an emphasis on special occasion favors and corporate gifts.

This father-daughter team is devoted to sharing delicious treats that honor a life well lived and all of its special moments. Their hand-crafted, small batch treats are inspired by their culinary travels around the world.
