Omeat, an innovative cultivated meat company that recently launched out of stealth, is announcing the appointment of Pavle Stojkovic as chief strategy officer. Previously serving as the company's chief people officer, Stojkovic brings diverse experience in the health and alternative protein space, arming him with the tools to implement systems and build internal infrastructures that will allow Omeat to scale rapidly. Before joining Omeat, Stojkovic was at Sword Health and The Athletic, acquired by The New York Times. He currently serves as an advisor to Climax Foods and Vegan-Friendly and invests in innovative food companies via Sustainable Food Ventures. Stojkovic's professional and personal commitment to a more sustainable future through food enables him to help Omeat transform the cultivated meat industry and the future of food.
Stojkovic's appointment comes as part of Omeat's commitment to fortify its leadership team and drive innovation and growth in the market. As CSO, Stojkovic will lead Omeat's long-term strategic planning, helping identify a path toward commercialization, navigate regulatory approval processes, and collaborate with the executive team to steer the company toward sustainable success. To date, Stojkovic has helped define the company's "North Star" goals and set a concrete path to achieving them. In doing so, he has worked closely with the head of science to operationalize the team's efforts and built the team behind Plenty, the business-to-business arm of Omeat that sells an ethical replacement for Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). He's also been a key player in developing the first version of Omeat's ground beef patty for market.
