Third-culture kid Carla Martinesi went from rejecting her Hong Kong roots to solving one of the city's biggest problems. After noticing every F&B job she worked had inevitable food waste built into the business model, she Googled "how to build an app" during COVID quarantine and created CHOMP - connecting consumers with discounted surplus food from 250+ restaurants. From mysterious hotel meetings that landed her first major client to hosting "Rescued Feast" dinners that turn food scraps into gourmet meals, Carla's journey proves that sometimes the best solutions come from questioning what everyone accepts as "just how business works."
