Can gastronomy change the world? Mette Johnsen believes it can. As CEO of Spora, she’s on a mission to reshape the future of food by bringing science and culinary craft to the same table. Working across biosolutions, business innovation, and gastronomy, Mette catalyzes new solutions to global food system challenges—guided by one clear conviction: the food of the future must be good for the planet, good for our health, and always delicious.

Before co-founding Spora in 2023 with Rasmus Munk, Founder of Alchemist and Spora, Mette spent 14 years at Novozymes in commercial leadership roles spanning business building, alternative proteins, and customer co-creation. Today, she’s channeling that experience into accelerating a more sustainable—and flavorful—food future.
