A food and travel community for the mobile generation, Tastemade was co-founded by Kydd in 2012 and offers a platform for "tastemakers" to create and share content, distributing on every screen from smartphones to connected TVs for a global audience that now reaches over 30 million people monthly. Tastemade was originally launched as a digital food network, featuring chefs and other cooking talent native to the Web. The company has since enjoyed exponential expansion to become a leading digital video network across Facebook, AppleTV, YouTube (News - Alert) and other digital & mobile platforms, enabling a community of more than 1,000 Tastemakersand over 80 million social followers to come together to discover and share their passion for great food and travel. In 2015, Tastemade was named as one of the World's Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Food by Fast Company magazine. "I'm thrilled to be sharing the story of Tastemade at the World Business Forum in NYC this year," said Kydd. "WOBI is a unique opportunity to reach top executives from around the globe and explore important issues of the day in media, technology and culture."
