Leadership
Founder & Creative Director
Over the last decade, Kris has developed innovative projects and unique experiences that align with the world-changing potential he believes cultivated meat has. While his previous involvements have ranged from social science and environmental research to ethical and historical analyses, Kris now works primarily within design, video, and education.
He is the author of the Harvard & Stanford-profiled 90 Reasons, creator behind Project CMF, and has been fortunate to give the first talks on cultivated meat around the world at places like Google, Harvard, Stanford, City University of London, NEMO Amsterdam, Texas A&M, and MIT.
Kris and his work have also helped to establish the field of cultivated meat, being featured and quoted in the Financial Times, Washington Post, Science, Harvard Innovation Lab, MIT Tech Review, Forbes, Feedstuffs, San Francisco Chronicle, ABC Australia, as well as developing collaborations with the UN, Harvard, Stanford, Elsevier, and Google.
