The Master Pods

Welcome back Master Podders!

We are kicking off Season 2 by welcoming back Jordy van Osch, who is the Chief Technology Officer at Chainable. Jordy co-founded Chainable in the Netherlands in early 2020. Chainable's mission is to become the world's first circular kitchen, where kitchens are not sold to customers but are instead offered through a Kitchen-as-a-Service model. Tune into this brand new second season of the podcast where we talk with sustainability professionals to find out more about who they are and what types of jobs exist in this new sector!

Hello everyone, we are so happy to be introducing our second season of the Master Pods! In it, we are shifting our focus away from the sustainable student to the sustainable professional. 

Every week, we’ll be publishing an interview with a person working in the field of sustainability to give you an idea of all the jobs and the positions available in this new rapidly growing sector. 

On the schedule, we have everything ranging from sustainability strategists to CEOs to entrepreneurs to influencers to sustainable finance specialists and many more! Our goal is to get to know these people. Who are they? How did they get where they are today? What drives them? And what advice do they have for you?
