From authoring the manifesto for the Nordic food revolution and co-founding Noma, a perennial “World’s Best Restaurant,” to launching an indigenous food movement in Bolivia that has trained thousands of young people and is unlocking a new sense of national pride, Claus Meyer has always been motivated by goals that stretch far beyond the profit motive. He has addressed issues such as the importance of unconventional thinking and naïve ambition; how to create an avalanche-like cultural movement rather than follow a traditional business plan;, and why we need to remain in close touch with our values and passions if we are to be truly successful. This “son of the microwave oven” will share insights from his gastronomic, business and philanthropic journey including his latest ventures in New York City, including Michelin-starred restaurant Agern and the Great Northern Food Hall in Grand Central Terminal.
