President, Mondelez Canada Inc.
“Five years ago, I learned that the amount of food wasted at large events could fill an entire stadium — and it changed how I see food forever. While millions of Canadians rely on food banks each month, too much food still goes to waste. The good news is that it can be rescued, shared, and transformed into hope for those who need it most. That’s why I continue to support La Tablée des Chefs and their incredible mission.”
