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.
