CEO and co-founder of ENOUGH, a food-tech company whose purpose is “to make protein sustainable”. ENOUGH address this by growing mycoprotein, an advantaged food ingredient, more sustainably and at lower cost than all other protein options.
ENOUGH are building the World’s largest new protein facility. Located in the Netherlands, this will initially produce the equivalent of 5 cows worth of protein every hour, with plans to make a cow equivalent every 2 minutes by the end of the decade.
Demand for non-animal protein is forecast to grow by +15k tonnes every day for the next 5000 days. ENOUGH’s current plans are not enough to meet a relevant share of this but with collaboration, we embrace the opportunity to go further.

I hold a PhD in molecular bacteriology and infection from university of Copenhagen. I worked with pathogenic bacteria from food and animal sources and later with bacteriophages targeting those bacteria. I joined SNIPR Biome in 2019 where I am currently a team lead for Assays and in vitro Biology. Here, I am contributing to research, CMC and clinical development of our drug candidates.
