Associate Board Member, Kirsten Joyner is Copia’s Client Success Manager. “My name is Kristen and I’m a Client Success Manager at Copia.  Copia is a food recovery technology that is working on solving three major issues – food waste, hunger, and climate change. My background is in the food service industry, where I saw firsthand the horrifying amounts of perfectly edible, never previously served food that gets thrown in the trash every day. It was a natural transition for me to move to Copia, where I now help nonprofits around the country access and utilize food from restaurants and other food-generating businesses that would otherwise be going to the landfill to produce harmful greenhouse emissions.  I believe that having access to quality and nutritious food is a fundamental component of both health and happiness, and I’m proud to play a role in ensuring that our neighbors are fed. Outside of Copia, I am an avid traveler, and it will come as no surprise that I also love cooking and exploring new foods as well”.
