About Daniel Magalhaes

Currently working at the intersection of food, supply chain, and social impact.While past roles have mostly sat on the commercial side of the food industry, I bring an operational mindset shaped by hands-on experience in supply chain, logistics, and distribution strategy. I’ve worked across foodservice, retail, ecommerce, and CPG - helping f&b companies scale through smarter distribution and thoughtful go-to-market execution.Now, at Tony’s Open Chain, I’m focused on growing our presence in North America - looking to partner with brands and retailers ready to commit to a more responsible cocoa supply chain. And I’m lucky enough to work alongside an international team where creative thinking and systems-level strategy come together to drive meaningful, shared impact.I’ve been in and around food my whole life, from my early exposure to the inner workings of a family-run business to my current work in cocoa, a global commodity with its own unique challenges. It’s an industry I know deeply, care about personally, and continue to learn from every day.If you\'re working in, building in, or wanting to learn more about: Supply Chain & Operations Retail & Foodservice Strategy Global Partnerships & Ethical Sourcing E-Commerce & Marketplaces Emerging CPG - I’d love to connect.
