Bio

Hi! I am Chhavi Jatwani, a design innovation project leader working at the intersection of innovation and sustainability in the food sector. I leverage design thinking, systems thinking and strategic design in creative problem solving for complex food system challenges like new product development for health, nutrition and sustainability. I manage strategic projects for CPG companies like Nestle, Dole and Ab-Inbev leading cross-functional teams through trend scouting, research, synthesis, opportunity identification, ideation and prototyping to deliver market-differentiated R&D solutions, consumer insights and roadmaps for global markets (LATAM, APAC, Americas, EMEA). For most of my 10+ years as a designer I have been an entrepreneur and an intrapreneur, dancing with ambiguity within fast-paced and matrixed environments working collaboratively with different business functions both internal and external to the companies. I shine in driving multi-stakeholder consensus and influencing decision-making by empathy, connecting the dots and compelling storytelling. Through my work, I strive to contribute to a global food system shift from extractive to regenerative, centralized to distributive, taste & convenience-driven to also health and wellbeing focussed. These days I am busy developing a new planet-centered innovation methodology and mentoring a kick-ass team of associate designers changing the world and how we eat.
