Source.ag, a leading provider of AI solutions for vegetable growers, has appointed Matthias Stammen as its new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). Stammen, a dynamic leader with experience across Europe, the US, and Asia, joins the team after playing pivotal roles in the success of two unicorn startups, Choco and Forto, where he was instrumental in their meteoric rise.
With a Master’s degree from Copenhagen Business School, Stammen’s passion for food and agricultural innovation is deeply rooted. His connection to the sector began five years ago during his involvement with Wageningen University, where he continues to serve as a Business Mentor at StartHub Wageningen. His new role at Source.ag aligns with his ambition to lead efforts in creating a more efficient, sustainable, and climate-resilient food production system.
“Building a purpose-driven, impactful company in the agriculture and food production space has always been my North Star. I’m thrilled to apply my expertise to a company that’s working towards such a meaningful mission. I look forward to collaborating with growers, plant scientists, and data specialists to develop solutions that will empower more growers to meet the increasing demand for fresh vegetables and fruits.”
Source.ag’s innovative AI technology supports growers worldwide, enabling them to scale operations faster, boost vegetable yields, and implement sustainable agricultural practices. The company’s solutions are already widely applied across major global fresh vegetable segments like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, with a focus on optimizing operations for all fruit and vegetable growers.
“We are thrilled to welcome Matthias on board. We share a common vision of building a company that is reshaping the future of agriculture and enhancing global food security. With his vast experience and passion, Source.ag is well-positioned to accelerate growth thus ensuring sufficient access to healthier diets for billions of people.”
Source.ag’s reach is vast, with commercial greenhouses in 18 countries currently benefiting from its AI-driven solutions. These growers, who produce vegetables for more than 50 million people globally, are set to benefit further as Source.ag continues to expand and innovate, promoting more sustainable food production systems.
Stammen’s leadership at Source.ag is expected to play a key role in helping farmers and growers around the world meet the increasing demand for fresh vegetables and fruits, while enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability across the agricultural sector.
