Jean LouwrensCo Founder

United States - Raleigh, North Carolina

As the co-founder and CEO of De Novo Foodlabs, I lead a biotech startup that leverages the power of nature to create novel and sustainable food products. We are on a mission to revolutionize the food industry and foster a healthier and greener planet for future generations.

I've completed a Master of Business Creation degree at the University of Utah, where I learned from world-class faculty and mentors how to launch and grow a successful venture. I have a Bachelor of Commerce Honours degree in Logistics from Stellenbosch University, and a strong background in supply chain management and global trade.

My core competencies include target marketing, strategy, and marketing strategy, which I apply to identify and reach potential customers, partners, and investors for De Novo Foodlabs. I am also passionate about collaborating with other food entrepreneurs and innovators, and I serve as the FoodHack Cape Town Ambassador, where I organize and facilitate events and workshops for the local food community.
