People often ask what I do, because my path is not typical. Over the past twelve years I’ve built my work around cocoa as an entrepreneur, advisor and project lead, combining business sense with a deep understanding of how the chain really works.
Today I help companies and organizations innovate, improve quality and make their supply chains more efficient and transparent. My work is hands-on and strategic at the same time, focused on turning ideas into action and creating real results.
