About Craig Marshall-Nicholls
In the first 15 years of my career I helped grow three tech start-up businesses to successful acquisitions. The last of these brought me to Google where I spent nearly 8 years in Chief of Staff, strategy and operations roles, including 4 years at the heart of Google’s $200B+ Ads business. In 2023 I refocused my energy towards work that\'s good for the planet and its inhabitants, and joined the UPSIDE Foods leadership team as Chief of Staff to the CEO.
