Lucie Basch Speaker Profile: At A Glance

An engineer, Lucie Basch started her career in the food-processing industry in the UK. Witnessing the scope of food waste in her branch, she quit her job and imagined a concept that would empower any citizen to fight food waste at their own level. Because “collaboration is the new competition”, she joined forces with a couple of young entrepreneurs in Denmark that had a similar idea and together, they created Too Good To Go. She launched Too Good To Go in France in June 2016, with great success. She is currently the Chief Expansion Officer of Too Good To Go global. Worldwide, since 2016, more than 160 million meals have been saved.

Lucie Basch is a visionary entrepreneur and a passionate advocate for sustainability. She is best known as the co-founder of Too Good To Go, a groundbreaking app that fights food waste. Lucie’s journey began in France, where she completed her engineering studies at CentraleSupelec. Early in her career, she worked for a major food company, where she witnessed firsthand the vast amounts of food being discarded. This experience ignited her drive to tackle food waste on a global scale. In 2016, Lucie joined forces with like-minded entrepreneurs to create Too Good To Go. The app connects users with local businesses that have surplus food, allowing them to purchase it at a reduced price. The simplicity and effectiveness of this concept quickly gained traction, and Too Good To Go has since expanded to multiple countries. Under her leadership, the company has saved millions of meals from going to waste, making a significant impact on both the environment and local communities. Lucie is not just an innovator; she is a convincing public speaker who uses her platform to raise awareness about sustainability and the importance of reducing food waste. Her ability to communicate complex issues in an accessible and inspiring way has made her a sought-after keynote speaker at conferences around the world. Beyond her professional achievements, Lucie is known for her compassionate and driven nature. She believes in the power of collective action and encourages others to make small, manageable changes in their daily lives. Her dedication to sustainability and her innovative approach continue to inspire many to make a positive difference in the world.
