Your Team Has AI Tools. They're Not Using Them.
Sure, they're recording meetings and drafting emails. But what about the real R&D challenges? Accelerating literature reviews for new ingredients? Screening supplier innovation landscapes? Identifying patterns in sensory data? Translating technical specs for commercial teams?
The gap isn't the tools. It's knowing what's possible in your domain.
Your AI Adoption Challenge
You've invested in AI tools like Co-Pilot and ChatGPT. A few enthusiasts are experimenting. Most of your team sticks to email summaries and meeting notes.
Meanwhile, you know AI could accelerate R&D Innovation cycles and identify innovation opportunities, but you don't know how to close that gap.
The reason?
Generic AI training doesn't teach food and agtech teams to:
Apply the learnings from all the old projects when starting a new project, rather than starting from scratch
Screen supplier innovation landscapes efficiently
Effectively do a competitor screening for each project in minutes. What is the competition doing, and at what price points
Accelerate ingredient literature reviews from weeks to hours, some with new solutions
Identify patterns in sensory or technical data that otherwise stay hidden
Translate complex technical specifications for commercial stakeholders
Apply AI to Design Thinking, accelerating and demystifying the process
Solve domain-specific formulation or process challenges like you had a PHd researcher on hand
Build AI Capability That Sticks -
In Your Domain, For Your Work
AI Catalyst teaches food, agtech, R&D and Innovation teams to identify, test, and deploy AI use cases that matter to innovation work. Not generic training, domain-specific implementation coaching from someone who's led R&D teams for 20+ years.
Your team confidently identifies and deploys AI use cases without you. They've moved from "AI exists" to "here's what we're doing next" and they have the methodology to keep improving.
You're not outsourcing AI implementation. You're building the capability to do it yourselves.
Not Another Generic AI Workshop
I know how food and agtech organisations actually work. What constraints you're navigating. What problems matter. What solutions fit your context.
Domain Expertise + Implementation Methodology
-
I've personally implemented AI solutions in food/agtech contexts, not theoretical examples
-
Test and learn, pilots, documentation, adoption strategies that work in real organisations
-
Your team learns to identify and implement solutions, not rely on consultants or IT

MBA | MSc Food Science | BSc Food Science & Microbiology
15+ years leading R&D and innovation teams at scale:
I've spent 20+ years leading innovation at companies like Kraft Heinz, Simplot, and Bundaberg building €100M+ pipelines, creating market leading categories from nothing from to category leader, and scaling R&D teams globally
I've been in your shoes. I know how corporate R&D works. I know how technology implementation actually happens. And I know the gap between having tools and knowing what to do with them.
That's why I created AI Catalyst.
