As Deputy CEO at ProVeg International, Tim Polkowski leverages over 20 years of strategy and innovation consulting to accelerate the global transition to a sustainable food system. A University of Michigan graduate, he is a certified practitioner of Blue Ocean Strategy, a methodology for creating new market value.

Tims professional mission is deeply personal; a former meat-lover, he transitioned to a plant-based diet and experienced significant health benefits, which inspired him to found the Plant Based Health Alliance in Malaysia. He is passionate about solving complex challenges at the intersection of health, environment, and society.

He once went from eating meat daily to a healthy, whole-food vegan diet overnight as an experiment and felt better than he had in 20 years.
