Profile Summary

🌟 With over 15 years of international experience in 25+ countries, I've had the privilege of working with renowned brands like Nestlé, Bel Group, L’Oréal, and others. My mission is simple: to develop products that are good for both people and the environment, created through sustainable practices that support a healthier world. As a certified Project Manager and Lean Design Coach, I bring concepts from idea to launch, ensuring we create products that are not only loved but needed. My expertise spans the food and cosmetics sectors, where I help develop everything from dairy and non-dairy products to plant-based proteins and beyond. 🌟 Here’s How I Can Help You: ✦ Project Management & Lean Design: Streamlining processes to make them more efficient and sustainable. ✦ R&D: From accelerated prototyping and product development to nutrition formulation and shelf-life studies, I’m here to help innovate. ✦ Operations: Hands-on experience optimising manufacturing with a focus on continuous improvement and sustainable practices. ✦ Product Development: I've worked on a variety of products for children and adults (Dairy & non-dairy products, coffee-based beverages, yoghurt, ice cream, plant-based proteins, cereals, fruits and veggies solutions, vitamins & mineral fortification, natural flavors, cocoa, probiotics, tofu, fat & oil…) ✦ Powder & Liquid Technologies: From spray-drying to aseptic processing, I can tackle complex product challenges (Spray-drying, dry-mixing, crystallisation, agglomeration, pasteurisation, UHT, evaporation, fermentation, separation technologies (decanters, separators, filtration)). ✦ Delivery Systems: Let’s create innovative in-home nutritious drinks or out-of-home solutions that have a minimal environmental footprint. 🌟 I’m passionate about creating solutions that address today's food and health challenges while contributing to a more sustainable future. Let's collaborate on projects that make a positive impact on both people's well-being and the planet! Wishing you joy and success!
