Bio

As the CEO of VegTech Invest, the advisor to the VegTech Plant-based Innovation & Climate ETF, EATV, I combine my business leadership and investing experience in the plant-based business arena. Helping to define and grow the new investment sector of Plant-based Innovation, my expertise is investing in the companies that are innovating with plants to produce animal-free products for sustainable consumption. Through my Plant Powered Consulting Agency, I consult to small and large plant-based brands and meat/dairy companies on media/communications/marketing strategies for capturing the growing flexitarian market. As a full-service agency, I also aid in general business strategy and development, and educating C-Suite on the whitespaces in the sector. I also host the weekly Plantbased Business Hour interview show. I interview the foremost CEOs and leaders in the plant-based arena for a deep dive into the trends of the sector. I also host a weekly show, The Plantbased Business Minute, which is a quick review and analysis of the week's top headlines. A sought-after speaker, I discuss the intersection of sustainability and the global food supply system on radio, TV, at conferences, in board rooms and, most recently, at the United National Global Leaders Compact Summit. I have contributed to ESG Investor, ESG Clarity, vegconomist-the vegan business magazine, The Beet and WGN-TV, Amazon Prime and NPR. I am a member of the GlassWall Syndicate investor group.
