Supplementing his organic chemistry education and industry experience in pharma/biotech R&D (cancer-seeking MRI drugs) with an MBA from UCLA Anderson and strategy consulting work, Addison ultimately found his calling in high-impact functional food & beverage technology – recognizing climate/health sustainability as the most critical function that F&B can provide. He now drives growth strategy and business development for alternative protein companies…but also loves cooking, singing, snowboarding and ballroom dancing (two-time national champ in college). And his tiny dog will melt your heart to little bitty pieces. Addison has been conducting interviews with Treehouse Partners since 2024.
