About OneThird 

OneThird is transforming how the fresh produce industry measures quality – combining proprietary sensing technology, cloud software and AI to help growers, packers, retailers and food companies assess quality, predict shelf life and reduce food waste. Having completed our Series A, we are now scaling internationally and positioning the company for a successful strategic exit in the coming years. To support this ambition, we are looking for an exceptional Chair of the Supervisory Board. 

The Opportunity & Mandate 
While strong governance is expected, we are primarily looking for a Strategic Chair: someone who actively helps shape OneThird's future, challenges management constructively, opens doors internationally, and brings first-hand experience scaling technology businesses into global market leaders. 

The mandate is twofold: help OneThird identify, engage and secure the right strategic partner by mid-2027 and help scale the business past €10m in revenue, building the traction that makes such a partnership possible. 

What You Bring 

• Experience chairing boards of start-ups or scale-ups, and comfort operating at Supervisory Board level. Worked with CEO’s who has built or scaled a technology company internationally – ideally in AgriTech, IoT or a hardware/data/AI business – ideally through to a strategic exit.
• A strong international network among AgriTech players, retailers and food & beverage corporates, with a track record of turning that network into partnerships, revenue or acquisition.
• Strategic insight and business development experience that translates into growth, market penetration and corporate partnerships.
• A genuine passion for sustainable food systems and smart technology, and the appetite for a hands-on, scale-up pace. 

Fit & Ways of Working

You are an internationally minded leader with a strategic outlook, strong commercial instincts and a collaborative, team-building style– naturally curious, comfortable challenging ideas, and trusted by founders, management teams, fellow board members and investors alike. 

As Chair, you will work closely with the CEO as a trusted strategic partner, in a relationship built on openness, trust and constructive challenge. This is an active strategic partnership rather than a traditional supervisory role: expect a regular rhythm of Board meetings and CEO sparring sessions, with heavier involvement around the strategic-partner process itself – the exact cadence to be shaped together. 

Impact 

Success will be measured first by whether we have found and secured the right strategic partner for OneThird's next chapter – and, more broadly, by your contribution to our international partnerships, positioning and long-term enterprise value. This is a chance to help shape a category-defining technology company, right at the moment that matters most.
