Ethan has been named as one of Newsweek's Top Innovators, Bloomberg 50 Most Influential People, Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business and much more. The Company’s flagship product, the Beyond Burger, revolutionised the meat aisle by being the first plant-based burger to be sold in the meat case alongside beef at major grocery chains. In an effort to further democratise plant-based meat, Beyond Meat has partnered with some of the world’s largest restaurant chains including McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, KFC, Starbucks, Carl’s Jr., and A&W Canada. Ethan has long been convinced that a change in the origin of the protein—from animals to plants—that we place at the centre of our plates could simultaneously address human health, climate, natural resource, and animal welfare challenges in a unique and powerful way.
