Tom Kools appointed Executive Director of Foodrise EU
Tom Kools will begin his role as Executive Director of Foodrise EU on the 1st of July.
We are excited to share that Tom Kools has been appointed as the new Executive Director of Foodrise EU. Tom has been a valued member of our board since September and now steps into a more active, operational role to help drive our mission forward.
Gemma Verhoeven (chair of the board of Foodrise EU): “With extensive experience across the food system and strong ties throughout the sector, Tom brings fresh ideas, energy, and a wide-reaching network to support our work. We are looking forward to this next chapter with Tom and to continuing our collective efforts toward a more sustainable and equitable food system”.
Tom Kools: “Now more than ever, we have the chance to shift money and power away from a food system that harms people, animals and the planet, and instead invest in one that supports health, sustainability and fairness. I’m proud to join Foodrise in this new role to help build the movement to make that happen”.
As of July 1, Tom will be joining and can be contacted at tom@foodrise.eu
