The Protein Community

Connect to make more impact.” For Leo, it’s more than a slogan — it’s how he accelerates change. With an entrepreneurial mindset and years of hands-on experience, Leo supports over 150 scaling companies within The Protein Community at Foodvalley. His focus is clear: strengthening collaboration across the entire value chain — from farm to fork — to build a more sustainable food ecosystem.

As a specialist in balanced and hybrid products, he shares practical insights on how to move toward the 60/40 goal by 2030. Not just ambition, but execution. What works in practice? Where are the bottlenecks? And how do you bring consumers along? Through the recent collaboration between The Protein Community and Food System Insights (USA), Leo is also helping bridge Europe and the United States — opening new opportunities to grow the balanced protein segment internationally.

Curious to exchange ideas or share your own learnings? Leo welcomes the conversation — in the break-outs, at the Balanced Pavilion booth, or via LinkedIn. Because impact starts with connection.
