How did you end up in this job?

I decided it was time for a change in my life, something that would go hand-in-hand with what I’ve studied in university while also being in the food industry which is was always a passion for me. I’ve always asked myself “how does the food get on the shelves and how is it made”.

What’s the best thing about your job?

There are multiple things that I could say I like the best but if I were to choose, I would say that the role I must interact with a good part of the teams from two different factories and from all the careers, understanding what they are doing and how the processes we’re using can be improved.

If you had the chance to do it all over again, what would you do the same / differently? I would most certainly do the same from a career perspective, but I would try to improve my skills even more than I did.
