In my current role as Investment Manager for Alternative Proteins for Food, I am constantly scouting for outstanding startups in the plant-, fermentation- or cell-based protein space that fit and would benefit from partnering with Nutreco. Besides orchestrating the actual investment process, I ensure that Nutreco’s experts continuously contribute to the startup’s growth, either by managing an actual collaboration or connecting the right people at the right time.
My background is a PhD in biochemistry followed by strategy consulting at McKinsey&Co. Before joining Nutreco, I worked more than 10 years in business development for biopharmaceutical companies in Munich, Germany, bolstering the companies’ product pipeline and generating licensing revenues for new investments.
