Our Team

Meet the people who make our work possible

Our team comes from a wide variety of backgrounds, bringing together a diverse blend of expertise and experience in food business strategy, sustainability, finance, data analytics, culinary arts, research, agricultural development, communications, and more. Something we all share? A passion to help create a more sustainable food system.

Culture

The success of our organization is rooted in the visible and invisible qualities of our people, who embody a variety of views, perspectives, and backgrounds to push the envelope of what’s possible and better meet the needs of our broader community. And since we're a fully remote team, we make it a priority to meet in person a few times each year, taking those opportunities to continue building the bonds that strengthen our work.

At ReFED, we believe that a core pillar of our organization lies in the strength of our people. We're committed to attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional talent and to creating a work environment that is dynamic and rewarding, enabling each of us to realize our full potential.

Interested in Working on the ReFED Team?

Our values ground our decision-making, root our actions in a shared purpose greater than ourselves, and are a cornerstone of our vision of a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive food system that preserves the well-being of our planet, our people, and our economy.
