@jessyedemejaro
Food science professional specializing in product and quality management.
What I'm looking for
I am a food science professional with a strong background in product management, food quality control, and safety compliance developed through roles in production, catering and student recruitment. I hold a B.Tech (Hons) in Food Science from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology and have completed certifications in customer service, HR, project management and HSE.
As CEO/Product Manager at RukkyFood and Events and Business Manager at Saga-Trans Limited, I designed sales and distribution plans, led safety and storage controls, and generated performance reports to support operations. I consistently applied first-in-first-out inventory practices and supervised production methodologies to minimize waste.
In chef and quality-control roles at Doz Restaurant and Newest ASL, I implemented personal protective equipment protocols, conducted routine audits, inspected product safety and expiry compliance, and trained staff on hygiene and hazard management. I also developed customer surveys and engaged clients to inform product development.
I am organized, deadline-driven and experienced in team collaboration, training and safety management. I seek roles where I can apply my food safety, product development and operational management experience to improve quality, reduce waste and support business growth.
