About the runner

Nutritious, delicious, affordable, local food. These 4 principles guide my work across sectors and geographies as I work towards the UN Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger by 2030. I work in Liberia, Brazil, Congo, Cambodia, Somalia, China, and the US as I build coalitions of local entrepreneurs, farmers, industrial manufacturers, and multilateral development institutions to design and take-to-market food products for people living in poverty. I use my academic background as an anthropologist to build food systems and new routes to market spending my days everywhere from smoky kitchens to the board rooms from where those that control the biggest actors in the food system make decisions. When not working I can be found (or not so found) getting lost running through a new city or on a multi-day trail run.
