“I am thrilled to welcome Trip to Meatable as he is incredibly well qualified to lead us into this very exciting and important phase of growth for the company,” said Cees de Jong, chairman of the board of directors at Meatable. “With our launch in Asia planned for the fall, the next critical part of Meatable’s growth strategy is to drive expansion into the U.S., and we believe that Trip’s long and successful experience in the organic and natural meat industry will be invaluable in helping Meatable achieve those global commercialization and growth goals. We look forward to his immediate impact as we take Meatable to new heights in Asia, the U.S. and beyond.”

Tripician most recently served as CEO of Grass Fed Foods and prior to that, as president of Perdue Premium Meat Company. He also brings extensive experience across the U.S. meat market, with deep expertise in the U.S. supply chain, marketing of sustainable meat products, fundraising and M&A.

At Grass Fed Foods, he orchestrated a successful merger between Teton Waters Ranch and SunFed Ranch, which positioned the company as the foremost regeneratively-focused Grass Fed Beef platform in the U.S. During his time at Perdue Premium Meat Company, he spearheaded the company's growth in premium meat brands such as Niman Ranch, Coleman Natural, and Sioux- Preme. Notably, he oversaw the acquisition and integration of Panorama Organic Grass-Fed Meats and Alexander & Hornung.

“Meatable is a one-of-kind food tech innovator with patented technology that can produce real and delicious meat at unprecedented speed, allowing product to be produced at lower costs than any other player in the industry,” said Tripician. “With global population growth stressing the world’s ability to meet accelerating demand for sustainable proteins, Meatable is positioned to lead the industry in a paradigm shift that will address key global issues including climate change, water use, soil quality, humane animal care, food security, and, importantly, consumer acceptance - delivering an affordable and remarkable eating experience that could change the world.”

“I am incredibly proud of the team and their accomplishments since I founded Meatable in 2018. We turned a vision and a dream into some of the most important and impressive technology in the cultivated food industry. Our insights and efforts led to a fundraise of a $100 million from strategic investors, including more than any company in our industry last year. As a result, Meatable can now deliver tasty meat in only four days, well ahead of the rest of the market, and the company is on track to launch in Singapore this year before expanding to the Unites States. I am proud to be able to hand off leadership at Meatable to Trip with a strong foundation, with a promising future ready to take on the next phase of its growth journey,” said de Nood
