Food waste is one of the largest problems facing communities today with 1/3 of food we produce going to waste. His mission to diminish food waste enriches communities on both a small and large scale. Marc Zornes holds an MBA with Distinction from INSEAD and a Bachelors of Business Administration from Washington University in St. Louis. He is a former Manager at McKinsey & Company where he was a leader in the Sustainability and Consumer practices.

While at McKinsey, Marc co-authored the McKinsey Global Institute report, Resource Revolution: Meeting the World’s Energy, Materials, Food and Water Needs. In developing this report, his team highlighted food waste as one of the biggest issues globally and yet very little was being done about it.

Marc then left McKinsey to found Winnow. Winnow builds technology to help chefs run their kitchens more efficiently focusing on helping chefs understand and prevent food waste. Since launch five years ago Winnow has been deployed in hundreds of kitchens in 30 countries globally and has saved its customers over $21m by reducing food waste.
