## Resource

In this episode, Alex Worker shares his remarkable journey from a global upbringing to becoming a driving force in New Zealand’s food tech revolution. Speaking from Queenstown, Alex opens up about balancing family life with entrepreneurial grit, shares insights from his time at Fonterra and Impossible Foods, and dives into his current ventures: Lilo Desserts (with a Pop Up coming to Mountain Club soon) and Nutrition from Water (NXW). He explores how New Zealand’s natural strengths and international reputation can lead the charge in sustainable nutrition and innovative food tech, especially through licensing and non-traditional export models. Alex also touches on geopolitics, Mountain Club's role in fostering connection, and his work with Future Food Aotearoa to support globally ambitious startups.
