About us

PXL_20250403_160503017

Our Mission

Did you know that a third of all food produced globally ends up being wasted?  It’s estimated that if food waste were a country, it would be the third highest emitter of greenhouse gases after the US and China.  

We were so outraged by this that we made it our mission to tackle the food waste problem.  Our goal is to use pioneering AI technology to significantly reduce the amount of food which is wasted around the globe.  

We are serious about it, too. We’ve set the most ambitious goal of any food waste solution globally - we want to reduce food waste for our clients by $1billion.  

We’re a registered B Corp meaning we strive to balance profit with people and the planet.  We feel proud that we are working on something which is purpose driven and contributing to a better world.

Our Culture

We are fiercely protective of our culture -  because our culture makes Winnow a truly unique place to work. Our culture is driven by our values. You’ll find us to be transparent and honest, ambitious and driven, inspirational and innovative.  We thrive on challenges and our pace is fast.

We’re humble people and we’re not fussed on titles.  We believe everyone has valuable opinions, and we want to hear them.  

As you would expect, we love food and incorporate this into Winnow life wherever we can.  We take it in turns to organise team dinners, arrange lunch and learn sessions, and trade our favourite recipes, restaurants and home produce gardening tips via dedicated Slack channels!

But don't just take it from us - in 2025 we made it onto The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list, a recognition based entirely on feedback from our team.

Our People

We are a group of talented and driven professionals coming from a diverse range of backgrounds. Our combined expertise and passion for our mission makes us a formidable team in the fight against the growing global trend of food waste.

We’re ambitious and pro-active. We understand we are each making a direct contribution to the mission, and we are dedicated to being the best that we can be to achieve this.

And we like each other! Whether that’s catching up over a cinnamon bun on a Monday morning, enjoying a meal during one of the regular team dinners, or watching the fun and games at the quarterly away meetings, spending time with our friendly and like-minded colleagues is one of the highlights of daily life at Winnow.

Our values

We’re both passionate and measured. We carefully balance the need for quick solutions and pragmatism with the ability to step back, take in the bigger picture and build for the long term.

IMG_3767

With each other, that means we’re a transparent organisation where healthy, respectful debate is encouraged. With our customers, we challenge them if we don’t think they’re achieving their goals, whether they be environmental or financial.

Done is better than perfect, and we learn by boldly doing then rapidly improving. We’re breaking new ground, so we know things might go wrong. But we judge ourselves and each other on our reaction and our resilience.

We’re a diverse bunch, but our belief in the value of food is the common thread in everything we do. With each other, we celebrate through love and respect for food. With our customers, it means we work hard to develop creative tools to make it easy for chefs to value food.

IMG_5568

Our product is revolutionary, our people are impressive, and we’re hungry for change. But we’re just the catalyst for a bigger movement. We stay humble regardless of our success, and make chefs the heroes on this journey.

We’re caretakers of the planet, helping to preserve and support it for now and the future. Our work already minimises the impact that the hospitality industry has on the planet, and we’re also committed to actively reducing our own footprint while doing so.

We’re leaving the planet and its people better off than we found them.

Our love of food unites us, and our diverse, global outlook sets us apart.

At Winnow, our people and customers are as diverse as the thousands of global food items we're dedicated to saving. We prioritise accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed, valued, and catered to.

We're unwavering in our commitment to continuous improvement, evolving our work environment and products to meet the unique needs of our unique team.

We embrace diverse perspectives from our global team and the thousands of chefs around the world who use our technology. We know it’s only by listening and acting on these insights that we will achieve our mission.

It’s not often that you get to work for a company that has skilled people driven by a noble mission. I particularly enjoy the responsibility that comes with it since I get to help create a powerful product that will change the world for the better.

Value: People of action - What's not to love about working with people that are passionate about food waste reduction and work tirelessly to meet a common goal?

Favourite Food: Sweet and sour pork or chicken - I love a flavourful dish that has a lot of zing to it!

One of the highlights of the past 6 years at Winnow is the people I have met. It’s great to work with a multicultural team where every day I get the opportunity to experience different perspectives and learn from others. Starting the UAE Food Waste Pledge was another highlight of my career as it connected the public and private sector in the UAE and brought people together to solve a common goal. Every night I go to bed knowing that I am doing the right thing for the world.

Value: Bravely Honest - Honesty allows for authentic progress, trust and integrity.

Favourite Food: I love soups in all forms from the Spanish cocido andaluz to Japanese ramen or Korean samgyetang. I’m also a huge fan of ham and tomatoes.

I've been with Winnow for 8 years now, and what keeps me here is how much I believe in what we're doing. I've always cared deeply about the environment, so getting to work for a company that shares that passion, and can actually quantify the impact we're making, means a lot to me. It's a genuinely mission-led culture, and I'm proud to be part of a team that's turning that mission into real, measurable change every day.

Value: Hungry and humble. To me, this means it’s important to show up every day looking for ways to grow, while remembering there's always more to learn from the people around me.

Favorite Food: My nonna’s meatballs, no contest!

What I appreciate most about Winnow is the people and the culture. A place where I feel trusted to do my work in my own way, while still having the support and opportunities to keep learning. I genuinely enjoy coming to work, working with clients and colleagues, and being part of a team that cares about what we do.

Value: Equal parts head and heart, because good work is about getting the job done, but great work is about understanding the people behind it.

Fav food: Lava cake - cold and firm on the outside, but warm, soft and full of goodness on the inside!

I started as a Summer intern and chose Winnow as was excited to work for a company which had real purpose. I loved that even as an intern I was expected to come up with my own solutions to technical problems and that my achievements were always recognised so it was an easy decision to accept a permanent role at the end of the internship. Fast forward a few years and I’ve been promoted, have a lot of responsibility and have developed a wide range of technical skills which I continue to grow on a weekly basis.

Value: I’m known to be one of the “People of action”. If something doesn’t work properly, I fix it.

Favourite Food: My favourite food is chicken or beef Shawarma. You can customise it with vegetables and sauces, or drop the french fries and mayo for a healthy low calorie meal
