Impossible Foods Inc. is reorganizing its structure under new Chief Executive Officer Peter McGuinness, dismissing about 6% of its 800-person workforce as the maker of plant-based meats tries to position itself for faster growth.
In a Thursday memo to employees seen by Bloomberg, McGuinness said the reorganization in the works for the past two months has “created clear supply-and-demand functions” and is focused on research and development, without providing more details.
