Marieke de Ruyter de Wildt

Marieke started her career at the United Nations. For the next 10 years, she lived in all continents and worked in more than 45 countries, from Scotland to Vietnam. She returned to Wageningen University, leading a research team to analyse the impact of agrifood investments, working with the likes of Rabobank, Syngenta, PGGM and Ahold Delhaize. In 2014, she started as director of AgriPlace, a software company developing an application to digitize farm certification.
Then blockchain matured. Although blockchain was hyped in FinTech, the financial industry, Marieke quickly concluded it addresses some key challenges in agrifood: data ownership and data integrity.
Being convinced that blockchain will accelerate the digitization in agrifood, she founded her current company The Fork.
The Fork helps companies to integrate blockchain technology into their existing technology. Moreover, they offer blockchain courses for supply chain professionals, educating them on the possibilities of blockchain.
