My name is Anna, I’m the CEO & co-founder of Clove. My mission is to help more people experience the joy of everyday cooking.

I believe cooking is something everyone should look forward to, and I’m bringing that vision to life with Clove: a platform simplifying and inspiring everyday cooking.

Before founding Clove, I spent 8 years at design unicorn Canva where I grew the design marketplace program from scratch to over 100 million templates and assets. During this time I worked across growth, product and content strategy – and led cross functional teams to achieve some of Canva's biggest global goals.

After the adventure of a lifetime scaling a startup from seed stage to over 100m active users, I left my executive role to travel, study and learn about cooking in Italy. Inspired by a pasta-filled childhood growing up in an Italian family, this time included travel through Italy’s diverse food regions, as well as to culinary school in Emilia-Romagna (ALMA) and finally to work at a Michelin restaurant in the Dolomites.

During this time I seeded the idea for Clove: a product with a big mission to capture the world’s food knowledge, and deconstruct the process of great cooking for everyone.

If you’re passionate about cooking, food or interested in sharing your recipes on Clove – I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a line or pre-register for Clove here.
