✨ We couldn't be happier to unveil our latest new joiner: Ann-Cathrin Schulz!
Ann-Cathrin joined our Studio team a few weeks ago as an Associate, but our journey with her began back in November 2020: from the start, we were impressed by her passion for food innovation and impact investing.
Back then, Ann supported our company-building activities and Pre-Seed investments, and after working closely with a FoodLabs founder, decided to join one of our portfolio companies as a Founders Associate. In her role, she led the biggest cross-functional projects incl. the launch of new geographies, segments, and business models while supporting HR, Finance, and Investor Relations.
🚀 We're thrilled to have Ann back with us - now as an Associate. 🚀
Most recently, Ann worked at Project A with late-stage companies, where she managed organizational and tech infrastructure projects and identified efficiency and growth opportunities alongside senior stakeholders.
Her passion for the food and agriculture industry started early, with her first job at a local farmers market in Switzerland at the age of 16:
"During my studies in economics, I worked at a plant-based food concept in Zürich, where I was responsible for one store, learned about healthy and environmentally friendly nutrition, and how a gastronomy business works.
My passion for the food industry and supporting founders in building impactful companies that make a difference have guided me back to where I started my journey and I couldn’t be more excited to be back and working on solving the world’s biggest challenges together with humble, smart, and hard-working people."
Welcome back, Ann! We’re so happy to have you on the team again. 💚
