Talk to me about... my business:

Senior Director of Global Health and Wellness
Kellogg Company

Talk to me about... my business: 

I am passionate about health, wellness and the role that food and technology can play here. I lead Health and Wellness for Kellogg’s globally and my main task is setting our strategic direction and how this then practically turns into reality across the various business units, brands and food categories across the World. This includes food reformulation, how we communicate to our consumers and engage with our external partners . It’s an exciting time whereby consumers, customers are more engaged with health and food than ever before, given our roots in Wellness and plant based sustenance I am proud to be part of the team taking this forward moving from a narrow definition of Nutrition to a broader wellbeing agenda to consider the social, cultural and ecological dimensions of our food.

Talk to me about... something people may not know about me:

I am a busy working mum who juggles a pretty full-on agenda, lots of travel with two gorgeous children Mia and Teddy.  Recently I have been helping Mia, who is currently applying for University - and boy, it’s a steep learning curve navigating what course (she wants to study Medicine), what University, and the all-important how the student accommodation ranks.
