About Profile

A highly experienced Key Account Manager with a strong technical and commercial background in the flavors, botanical extracts, and food & beverage ingredients sector. Across a career spanning organisations such as Givaudan, Grand Custom Ingredients, and Frutarom, he has developed deep expertise in managing and growing strategic B2B relationships across the US ingredients and flavor & fragrance market.

Most recently responsible for a $5m portfolio, with key accounts including The Coca-Cola Company, McCormick & Company, Symrise, and Takasago International Corporation, working closely with customer R&D, procurement, and technical teams to deliver commercially successful ingredient solutions. His experience spans botanical extracts, flavor systems, and ingredient applications, with a proven ability to identify growth opportunities, qualify new ingredients for multinational supply chains, and build long-term partnerships across the value chain.

  • Extensive B2B sales and key account management experience across the US flavors and ingredients market
  • Managed a portfolio worth approximately $5m, focusing on strategic global customers
  • Strong relationships with major industry players, including The Coca-Cola Company, McCormick & Company, Symrise, and Takasago International Corporation
  • Deep technical and commercial understanding of botanical extracts, flavor systems, and food & beverage ingredients
  • Proven track record of organic account growth, new business development, and project qualification with multinational customers
  • Highly collaborative approach, working cross-functionally with R&D, procurement, quality, and production teams
