Jason H. Karp is the Founder and CEO of HumanCo, a mission-driven company investing in and building brands focused on healthier living and sustainability. He is also the Co-Founder of Hu Kitchen, which created the #1 premium organic chocolate in the U.S. After spending over 21 years in the hedge fund industry, where he led a $4 billion investment fund, Jason shifted his focus to fixing the broken food system in the U.S. As a long-time activist investor, he has been a vocal advocate for cleaner food options and continues his fight against the use of harmful ingredients, including launching a shareholder activist suit against Kellogg’s for their use of artificial food dyes. His efforts focus on promoting transparency in the food industry while also addressing the prevention and treatment of autoimmune diseases, chronic illnesses, and childhood obesity. Jason graduated summa cum laude from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
