About this episode

Cohen practiced corporate law in Tel Aviv, advising startups on founders' agreements, term sheets, and due diligence for venture capital firms and accelerators. She later went to business school and applied to the World Food Programme, expecting to stay a few months. Twelve years on, she has spent the last 10 of those years on WFP's innovation team. The WFP Innovation Accelerator launched in 2015 as a five-person team based in Munich, separate from WFP's Rome headquarters.
