Kristi Janman ~ Nothing Bundt Cakes

Kristi comes from a long career in the global hospitality industry doing strategic finance before starting her business TEN years ago, in 2015 and opening her first Nothing Bundt Cakes right here in Kennesaw. She is a native Georgian, graduated from Georgia State University and is a (non-practicing!) CPA. Kristi has been a member of KBA for 10 years. She is a Chairman’s Circle member of the Cobb Chamber, has proudly served on boards for the Honorary Commanders Program the North Cobb Civitan Club, is a member of Cobb Executive Women, and is a member of the 2020 Class of Leadership Cobb. She is a passionate member of the Cobb Community Advisory Council for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and leads the Georgia Nothing Bundt Cakes in an annual campaign in September to raise awareness and funds for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center. In 2024, the Geogia bakeries broke a huge milestone and surpassed the $100,000 mark in total raised since the campaign’s inception eight years ago (and still going strong!). In 2020, Kristi received the prestigious “Operator of the Year” award from Nothing Bundt Cakes nation-wide. Kristi was nominated into the liveSAFE Resources’ Academy of Women Leaders in 2019 and was awarded North Cobb’s Civitan of the Year in 2019. Kristi is currently serving as the Chairwoman of the Nothing Bundt Cakes Owner’s Council across 800+ bakeries nation-wide. Last year, Kristi was awarded the coveted “Circle of Honor” Award at the National Nothing Bundt Cakes Conference. The Circle of Honor is the most exclusive award given to one owner each year to recognize their lasting and significant contribution to the Brand for the legacy they have created – it was truly the highest honor of her career. Kristi is a generous leader and giver in our community and is passionate about mentoring and empowering her high-performing, young professional leadership team.
