Our Speaker

Ross Milne, CEO Leaftfoods

In 2019 when John and Maury Leyland Penno invited Ross to join them in building Leaft Foods, Ross had just started his own plant-based journey. Even though Ross spent his career designing and building some of the world’s largest food factories for GEA, it was conversations with friends about alternatives like electric vehicles and plant protein that moved him to spend the next chapter in his career building something meaningful.

With an extensive background in engineering project management and team building, what stands out about Ross is his sheer determination to create new ways of making food that is better for people’s health and better for the state of the planet.  

Thriving on getting the best out of people, Ross is clear on the challenges ahead of Leaft Foods but his philosophy of making sure to have fun along the way fuels the ability of Ross’s team to deliver on something that could be truly transformational.

Ross has a B.E(Hons) in Chemical and Process Engineering from the University of Canterbury. Prior to joining Leaft Foods, he was the Head of the Project Execution Group at GEA for Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
