Founder and CEO of HelloFresh Australia, Tom Rutledge is a self-taught cooking enthusiast and 2011 MasterChef Australia contestant. Tom’s strong skillset in general management and online business operations has seen him successfully establish and grow several businesses in the start-up sector. In 2010, he competed in the third series of MasterChef, where he successfully made it to the top 24 contestants. Following his invaluable experience on MasterChef, Tom put these skills into practice and founded Mr. Perkins & Co., a boutique gourmet home food delivery service. The business was the first proponent of the Meal Kit concept in Australia and ultimately lead to Tom being approached by HelloFresh to launch the company into Australia in 2012.
