I am passionate about food and health. I deeply understand science, and more importantly science in context. Anyone can talk science but few can deliver it simply and in the context of all that we currently know on that topic. Thats what I love doing. I combine it with regulatory, PR and commercial expertise to support strategies and projects that drive healthier more sustainable food choices.
