Karma Kebab at the Kwalitaria restaurant formula meeting
Personal – Hidde Stolkwijk, one of the founders of the vegan food concept Karma Kebab, has decided to resign from his job at the end of May. It is unclear what he will do next. Stolkwijk announces his departure from Linkedin.
Stolkwijk believes it is the right time to pass the baton to Pascal Labrie and Ivo van der Pouw. Together with Labrie and Marcel van der Heijden, Stolwijk founded the plant-based food concept Karma Kebab in 2020. First as a food truck at festivals, but now as a company with products on supermarket shelves and an online store. He writes about the company’s progress: “I once stood before a group of people talking about oil tankers and speedboats. I’m proud to leave behind a speedboat with rockets, a sidecar with a ball pit and pink confetti cannons. And while it’s been fun driving that (now) colossus, it’s also time to pass the baton.
