Impossible Foods has expanded its leadership team with the appointment of a new chief science officer and chief supply chain officer.
Industrial biotechnology specialist Sunil Chandran is joining Impossible as chief science officer, overseeing the company’s R&D and innovation departments.
Chandran will focus on improving Impossible’s existing products and introducing new innovations to its portfolio. He joins from Amyris Inc, where he spent more than 17 years bringing new fermentation-derived ingredients to market, most recently as its chief science officer and head of R&D.
Supply chain leader Rob Haas will join as chief supply chain officer, where he will oversee all parts of the company’s supply chain from ingredient sourcing to dynamic forecasting.
With over 30 years of industry experience in the US, APAC and Western Europe regions, Haas has nearly 20 years of leadership experience from Anheuser Busch InBev, where he served as global VP of ingredients, supply chain as well as the CEO and president of AB InBev subsidiary Metal Container Corporation. Most recently he was chief supply chain officer at EverGrain Ingredients, a sustainable ingredient company created and backed by AB InBev to upcycle barley grains into nutritious ingredients and plant proteins.
Peter McGuiness, president and CEO of Impossible Foods said: “Sunil and Rob are exceptional leaders who know how to run critical business functions at scale. In addition to the depth and breadth of their expertise, they’re also both genuinely motivated by our mission and want to help us succeed in service of that. I’m excited to usher in this next phase of growth under their leadership.”
