Impossible Foods has hired biotech executive Brian Miller as Chief People Officer.
Miller will report directly to Impossible Foods’ President Dennis Woodside. Among his many responsibilities, Miller will oversee recruiting, development and retention as the food tech startup embarks on one of the most audacious ramp-ups in the food sector.

We’re confident that he has the stamina and ambition to help Impossible Foods as we enter ‘hypergrowth’ mode.”
