      I have held three different roles, which have allowed me to gather a variety of experience across several categories including Food Solutions, Spreads and Dressing. My varying roles also exposed me to different parts of the business ranging from research science to the design and implementation of communication strategies. In addition to the exposure to the varying aspects of the business, I also worked with several other disciplines globally, functioning as an interface between Research & Development, Marketing and Local Colleagues.
