"I had known of BGF for some time as they are very successful and active in fast-paced technology sectors.

"Once in a while I come across a company that truly has the potential to move the world forward in a profound way. It takes a great team, with a bold vision and a well executed product roadmap to do so. That is exactly what I found in ZOE. It's a company that represents the future – health science, driven by big data, that enables us to extend not just our life-span, but more importantly our health span. I'm deeply proud to be an investor and now an ambassador of a company that I truly believe will change the world by leading the nutrition-science revolution."
