I'm very happy to announce to my network my move to Chief Operating Officer at RainStick. It's rare to find a job that you love but anyone who's spoken to me in the last couple of years knows how much I've enjoyed and thrived working here. Most importantly is being part of one of the best teams I've ever worked with. This small, diverse and hugely capable team go above and beyond day in and day out and I'm continuously amazed at how much we achieve and overcome in a short period. Our mission is to bring water scarcity to the forefront of sustainability conversations, not just through our current shower innovation but also into the future with our product roadmap. I'm always excited to talk about RainStick and all the great work we're doing so please drop me a message if you'd like to know more.

At CrushDynamics, our mission is to upcycle all polyphenol-rich agricultural side streams, starting with grape derivatives. By transforming these byproducts into high-value ingredients, we are not only reducing waste but also significantly lowering the carbon footprint of the wine industry. Through our innovative process, we aim to drive a more sustainable and circular food system, addressing both climate and environmental challenges.
