Mattias Ohlson, Co-founder and CEO of Emerging Cooking Solutions (SupaMoto) has lived in Zambia since 2013, running the company together with his co-founder and wife Marion Peterson.

Before stepping into the clean cooking sector, Mattias worked for many years with Doctors Without Borders, and also founded and ran an IT company.
