As Founder and Co-CEO, I'm responsible for the vision, technical leadership, and selection of investment and strategic partners for Treasure8. My previous experience in disrupting part of the chocolate industry provided inspiration and insights to change the food system for the better. I believe the Treasure8 mission is big but critical. Lack of quality nutrition is a main source of disease, it is one of the largest killers for humans, and the cost to society is massive. Today, through our USDA-patented and other technologies, along with our B2B partnership platform, we're evolving an inefficient food system while improving stakeholder livelihoods. Our focus is on giving people greater access to not just food, but nutritious and delicious foods, through current distribution systems, with little negative impact to the planet.
