David De Schutter

David De Schutter is obsessed with flavor, particularly the processes that shape and change flavor patterns. With a stint at a fermentation startup and a PhD-dissertation in Bioscience Engineering titled “The influence of wort boiling on the flavor stability of beer” he showed his cards early in his career. And he stays perfectly on brand as the Global Vice President of Innovation & Technology Development, responsible for R&D at AB InBev globally. But you don’t have to be interested in beer to hear David De Schutter speak at our conference. His passion for R&D in general will be enough to keep you on the edge of your seat.
