Marcin Niedzielski

Chief Executive & Co-Founder

Our expert for:

Food & Beverage Consulting, Go-to-Market Support

“Optimising the utilisation of machinery and equipment with high volume assignments is a characterising driver in the food industry. As a result, many small-scale production requests get rejected. On the other hand, nobody wants to miss a rising star product opportunity. Agilery is here to help to avoid this contract manufacturers’ dilemma by filtering and professionalising production requests and by managing the complexity of small-scale innovation projects.”

Marcin’s passion is to solve the food contract manufacturer’s dilemma of supporting innovation while still being highly efficient and at scale.
Marcin has 15+ years of experience in the food industry, combining startup leadership positions with international corporate roles. He started his food career with Barry Callebaut in chocolate and cocoa, where he was a Regional Director for Sales, Marketing and Distribution. Before founding Agilery, Marcin was responsible for Innovation and Business Development at Haco, a global contract manufacturing group.
Management Consulting at Bain & Company was Marcin’s first professional step after his graduation. For 3 years, he worked on strategy development, operational improvement and due diligence projects across various industry sectors.
Marcin holds a Master’s degree in Industrial Management and Manufacturing from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich.
In his free time, Marcin loves to spend quality time with his son. Swimming and biking are already high on the agenda, soon to be followed (hopefully) by tennis, skiing and hiking.

“Food industry suppliers traditionally focus on high volume orders for established food & beverage products.

Jonas Schneider

Co-Founder of Agilery

Our expert for:

Agilery’s Database, Ecosystem, Continuous Improvement, Processes

"We have an innovation problem within the food sector: while blockbuster products are cash cows, they don’t win market shares. The real growth comes from small brands. Navigating the innovation funnel has gotten increasingly difficult – some brand owners got too big to innovate, and others fail too quickly. Agilery is here to make sure that promising products get the support they deserve."

Jonas’ desire to have a stronger impact on the food industry and to help innovative product ideas lead him to leave his corporate environment to be part of Agilery’s founders' team.
Before founding Agilery AG in 2019, Jonas gained experience at Nestlé through different production environments, such as a Nutrition (infant formulas), Confectionery (Cailler chocolate) and Culinary (sauces), where he specialized in manufacturing management and continuous improvement. He also gained experience in the flavour and agrochemical industries.
Jonas studied Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (MSc) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH), where he wrote a Master’s thesis on the automatic control and optimisation of cereal drying equipment for the food industry.
When not working, Jonas is passionate about tastings, from wine to whisky, and experimenting new things. He loves music and all kinds of water sports, often being dragged by a kite or a boat.
