What do you do if after 10 years of a successful corporate career, you feel the need for a big change? Can you make a career pivot, start in a new area and still be credible? Your track record may have helped you to get that new job or a promotion. And the same track record may hold you back from making a leap of faith into building your own business or starting anything new.
Vanessa Westphal is COO and Co-Founder of Choosy, a personalised meal planning and grocery shopping assistant that makes forming healthy and sustainable eating habits effortless.
After 10 years at Siemens, Vanessa decided to dedicate herself to her true passion: nutrition. We talk about how new habits and tools can support the transition from an employee to a founder and how important it is to tame your brain. Vanessa also shares her views on how technology will change the way we eat.

Vanessa joined Siemens 10 years ago as an electrical engineer to then switch to management consulting and lead a corporate incubator. She got excited about building something new from scratch and then seeing other people use it and benefit from it. With Choosy, Vanessa tackles one of our biggest and yet most underestimated challenges we face as humans: How we decide what we eat.
