This Silicon Valley Engineer Ditched Software to Make Seitan Salami to “Help Shift the Food Culture Paradigm”

Former Silicon Valley engineer Alexander Volkov left his software career to create Green Wolf Foods, a company focused on reimagining traditional Eastern European staples using plant-based ingredients. Frustrated by the lack of plant-based cured meats, Volkov developed Vegami, a vegan alternative to traditional salami that emphasizes wholesome ingredients and authentic flavors. The product has garnered attention and awards, with sales volume tripling in less than a year and recognition from TIME magazine and the World Plant-Based Innovation Awards. Volkov and his wife aim to shift the food culture paradigm towards more sustainable and health-conscious eating habits by offering innovative and nutritious plant-based products.
