A native of Boston, Adam Maxwell, was drawn to a food career from an early age,

pursuing his first professional experience as a 14 year-old pastry apprentice at James

Beard award-winning restaurant, Clio. He continued working in fine dining throughout

his adolescence and during his adult education as a student of Food Chemstry at McGill

University. Prior to graduation, Adam left McGill to accept an incredible opportunity to

work at Chew Innovation labs, where he met future fellow Voyage Foods Founding

Team Member and VP of R&D, Kelsey Tenney. During his time at Chew, Adam led

multiple projects for global brands spanning confectionery, coffee and shelf stable egg

bars, ultimately preparing him for his next endeavor at Endless West, the world's first

and only molecular wine and spirits company. At Endless West, Adam oversaw R&D,

expanded the company’s technology platform, launched dozens of new products, and

helped build a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Throughout these endeavors,

Adam’s passion and understanding of the fragility of our food systems rapidly evolved

as he perceived both the opportunity and urgency to leverage technology and

innovation to transform our favorite foods for the better. Maxwell’s belief is that everyone

deserves to the right to enjoy their favorite foods without compromise on taste, risk of

threat to future access or sacrifice to dietary needs and preferences culminated in the

launch of Voyage Foods in 2021, where he now leads a team of talented food scientists

and CPG experts.
