Our Team
Mathieu Risacher
Founder & Director
Mathieu merged his diverse skill set with his thirst for understanding to create Cacao Insights.
Combining his project management expertise with a structured, analytical mindset honed through his background as a textile engineer, his years as a freelance consultant provided a solid foundation for his work in cacao, allowing him to navigate complex projects with precision and clarity.
Cacao itself brings balance to this intellectual approach—offering a subject so rich and intricate that it continually invites deeper, heartfelt exploration. As Mathieu puts it: “Cacao always invites us to dig deeper. There’s always more to experience and understand: its aromatic diversity, its ever-evolving effects, its cultural significance, the spiritual support it may offer, the cultivation methods and processes to refine… It is never-ending, and these layers of complexity fuel my curiosity and my desire to share what I discover with the world.”

She has a unique ability to translate one’s vision into reality—bringing it to life through compelling visuals, meaningful collaborations, and a driving perspective that remains in constant evolution.
As she puts it: “Cacao Insights is more than a project; it is a way to share something essential about life itself. Cacao has this very special ability to reveal a doorway—an invitation to explore, reflect, and experience. Whether someone chooses to step through is entirely up to them. That’s the beauty of it.”
