What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to transfer my experience with a particular focus on FSMP and Nutraceutical R&D projects and manufacturing capability development.

At Fresenius Kabi Deutschland, I coordinated enteral nutrition projects from development through pilot and industrial implementation. I led manufacturing trials using UHT production equipment in Brazil and helped resolve process and formulation challenges.

I supported the global development and launch of Fresubin 3.2 kcal in more than 10 international markets, and co-authored four international patents. I also developed a global framework for organizing formulation, pilot-plant and manufacturing knowledge.

At Alimentum Consciente, I led technical, health and nutrition projects with international partners across Central America. My work has also included industrial trials, equipment validation and manufacturing readiness at Café Soluble S.A. de C.V., and product and process industrialization at Kraft Foods R&D Inc.
