Ara Partners, a private equity firm specialising in industrial decarbonisation investments, has hired Manoj Sahoo as Operating Partner.

Sahoo brings more than 20 years of experience across commercial, operational, and technical functions in the food & agriculture sector.

 
"We're very happy to add Manoj to the Ara Partners team," says Cory Steffek, Managing Director of Ara Partners." Manoj has a long and distinguished history as a prominent executive in food & agriculture. His experience leading growing, technology-focused organisations makes him an excellent fit for Ara Partners' investment model, and we look forward to benefiting from his expertise and deep industry network."
 
Sahoo most recently spent three years as Chief Commercial Officer at plant-based technology company Calyxt, where he successfully commercialised the company's first product and was a core member of the IPO launch team. He previously spent seven years at Cargill, focused on business development and commercial activities, and was the commercial leader of the fermentation segment, with direct P&L responsibility. At Cargill, Sahoo led the enterprise global strategy team to triple the earnings of its bio-based portfolio in five years.
