For our third (woman-only) event, we are excited to welcome the inspiring Marieke de Ruyter de Wildt, the Founder and CEO of Open Food Chain and Global Board Member of the World Agriculture Forum.
Marieke is a brilliant agri-tech (agricultural technology) founder on a mission to bring full transparency to the global food system by using powerful blockchain technology. Having spent her early career with the United Nations, working in over 50 countries, she brings a truly global and adventurous spirit to her work, solving complex, real-world problems.
Marieke will be sharing her personal journey with us: from growing up in Tanzania and in the Netherlands to how her curiosity and global travels led her to a career in tech. We’ll be diving into her fascinating belief that the “burden of proof” for sustainability is now shifting from governments to businesses, and we’ll learn her secrets for fostering a strong, persistent leadership DNA as a female CEO in the agri-tech sector.
After the talk, stay with us a little bit ! Let’s connect, and continue the conversation over delicious food by AlexinWonderland, and drinks by Lillet — a perfect opportunity to meet fellow Amsterdammers curious minds in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
