In 2005, John Notz was working on an organic farm and consulting for food businesses while on the lookout for an up-and-coming artisan food company to partner with for the long-term. He’d spent years working in China where he ate a lot of tofu (and even earned a championship title in a dumpling-eating contest!), so when he met Minh, he knew
instantly he had found his perfect match. John loved Hodo’s bold, innovative approach to turning plants into delicious, protein-rich foods and joined forces with Minh to help build and expand Hodo’s business beyond our humble farmer’s market beginnings.
Before entering the food business, John worked in the mobile and software industries, primarily in China and Silicon Valley. He is active in real estate development and volunteers as an advisor to a variety of social ventures. He has a BA from Dartmouth College and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management.
