“What I find so inspiring about Marika is that she has inexhaustible knowledge on cocoa and chocolate and an openness – or maybe even more an urge – to share that. For example, she helped me a lot in writing my book Chocolaterie. It’s thanks to her contribution that I was able to write it. In addition to her knowledge, she is also a very pleasant person who, with her appealing smile, can make everyone enthusiastic about the food of the gods.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Marika for several years, in several cocoa sustainability related projects. She is a very dedicated, motivated and business minded worker with a passion for sustainable cocoa and fine flavour chocolate. Marika is a real networker, always interested in the person she is talking to. She interacts in a very personal way, so in her growing network of cocoa people she counts many cocoa friends.”
