At Orbisk, our journey has always been about people, purpose, and bold ideas that change the way the world tackles food waste. Today, we’re entering an exciting new chapter: a transition in our leadership.
For the past seven years, Olaf van der Veen has guided Orbisk as co-founder and CEO, helping turn a bold idea into a global movement. He now steps into the role of Chief Impact & Innovation Officer, continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Leading us forward as CEO is Anastasia Dellis, a seasoned leader who has scaled purpose-driven organizations worldwide. This leadership shift honors our journey so far while bringing the energy and vision needed to shape Orbisk’s next chapter.
From Founder to Future Builder
What started as a bold idea – to reduce global food waste – has become a recognized force in sustainability. Together with co-founders Bart van Arnhem and Richard Beks, Olaf van der Veen has built the foundation that empowers kitchens worldwide to measure, manage, and eliminate food waste.
Olaf shares:
“For the past 7 years, I’ve had the privilege of leading Orbisk’s impact journey. My strength lies in initiating bold ideas and proving the ‘impossible’ possible. Now, as Orbisk scales into its next phase, it’s the right time for me to focus on innovation and disruption for good.”
In his new role as Chief Impact & Innovation Officer – and as a member of our Board of Directors – Olaf will continue shaping the frontier of technology in the fight against food waste.
Welcoming Anastasia
We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Anastasia Dellis as our new CEO. With more than 20 years of global leadership experience, Anastasia has guided purpose-driven organizations to scale and thrive.
Her connection to Orbisk’s mission is personal and powerful:
“Every so often you meet a company whose purpose feels like an extension of your own. For me, that’s Orbisk. Beyond addressing food waste at scale, it’s about rethinking how we define climate action, value creation, and responsibility across the food ecosystem.”
Anastasia’s leadership style is rooted in listening, learning, and connecting – with our team, our customers, and every kitchen that shares our vision for a smarter, more sustainable future.
Looking Ahead
This is more than a transition – it’s a launchpad. With Olaf driving innovation and Anastasia steering growth, Orbisk is doubling down on our mission to eliminate food waste worldwide.
The challenge is urgent. The opportunity is immense. And with the passion of our team, partners, and customers, we’re ready to create even greater impact in the years ahead.
Here’s to the next chapter,
💚 The Orbisk Team
