Listen "Björn Öste of Good Idea Drinks and Oatly"
Episode Synopsis
Alex Shirazi chats with Björn Öste about starting a food company, his career in tech, and the success of Oatly through the decades.
Björn Öste is the founder and CEO of Good Idea, Inc and co-founder of Oatly. In the last 21 years, Bjorn has spent traveling the globe building markets and supply chains.
His focus has been on the business development side of things. Identifying industry partners, investor groups, various subject matter experts across multiple fields, and markets and disciplines. He sees virtually endless opportunities in the “high tech” food industry where the incumbents have surrendered product innovation to small, focused and dedicated expert companies like the ones he represents.
He finds it exceptionally rewarding to be able to work with products on a global scale that make a real and meaningful difference in the daily lives of many individuals.
