About Riley Jackson

I’ve spent the past 8+ years helping reshape the food system through strategic storytelling, brand building, and partnership development. With a background in business development and consumer strategy, I’m passionate about connecting people to products and ideas that align with a better future—for our health, our planet, and each other.From launching Beyond Meat in Canada to bringing new innovations to market at Impossible Foods, I’ve worked across pioneering food tech and sustainability ventures—including BIOMILQ, TiNDLE, and the Good Food Institute. Today, I lead the commercial function at Ivy Farm Technologies, a cultivated meat company based in Oxford, UK. My focus is on building a category, not just a brand—driving public advocacy, market readiness, and collaborative growth.I’m especially energized by cross-sector collaboration, bold ideas grounded in science, and making the future feel tangible—whether through mission-driven brands, innovative partnerships, or strategic communications that move people to action.
