Summary

With 30+ years of experience in Milk & Nutrition, Culinary, Beverages, and Cereals, my passion for quality, food safety and respect for people drives my work. I believe quality is a strategic advantage, not just a function. Throughout my career, I’ve transformed quality into a key business driver by fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

I lead with a deep respect for people, being an active listener who values diverse perspectives. By fostering trust and open communication, I build strong, collaborative teams that are motivated and aligned toward shared business goals.
