Marc Zornes was a former top-rated McKinsey Engagement Manager where he was a leader in the consumer and sustainability practices. 

While at McKinsey, Marc co-authored the McKinsey Global Institute report on Resource Revolution. In developing this report, his team highlighted food waste as one of the biggest issues globally and yet very little was being done about it.
