Emilie Vanpoperinghe
Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder – Senior LeadershipEnthusiastic Zumba lover and Bodypumper, I also do a bit of running (though mostly after our little daughter right now).
Originally from northern France, I grew up in the countryside eating veggies from our garden. My grandparents were potato farmers and so I know what it takes to grow fresh produce.
6 years ago, I was shocked when I discovered the extent of food waste. Since then, we have been on a mission to share what we learnt, help bring awareness of the issue and drive better food choices.
I have always been passionate about leaving the world a better place and I am hugely grateful for the amazing team of passionate and talented people I work with at Oddbox. Prior to starting Oddbox, I worked for an non-governmental organisation working in developing countries to empower adolescent girls to reach their potential.
Transparency is a key value at Oddbox and we share both what we do well and what we cannot do yet.

About Oddbox
As much as 2.5 billion tonnes of food are wasted globally every year – which plays a big part in the climate crisis. We’re on a mission to change that, with rescued fruit and veg from hard-working growers as well as plastic-free ingredients and brands that do good for the planet.
With fruit, veg and more delivered right to your door, we’re working towards a fairer food system – one where growers are supported and paid fairly, where produce doesn’t have to look ‘perfect’ and, most importantly, a food system where we never waste taste. No more unnecessary air miles or plastic – just delicious food that fights waste with every box.
