Growing up with farmer parents, Tessa knows how much hard work goes into producing the food we all eat and absolutely hate throwing it away. After a 15 year corporate career, Tessa Co-Founded OLIO, the world's only neighbour-to-neighbour food sharing app, which is solving the problem of household food waste at scale. As a mother of 2 young children, Tessa is passionate about the sharing economy as a solution for a sustainable world. The vision for Olio is to connect people to want to share food that would otherwise be thrown out.
