Meet Aaron
About you
I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Food Consumer Marketing and Product Development, complementing my Bachelor’s degree in Food Processing Technology and three years of experience as a Quality Assurance Specialist.
My prior experience involved leading the implementation of GFSI-recognised standards such as BRCGS, ensuring adherence to quality and safety protocols across operations. My educational and professional journey has equipped me with the skills to connect consumer insights with robust product development strategies while maintaining high standards of quality assurance.
In my personal time, I enjoy exploring global cuisines and staying active through outdoor activities such as hiking. This well-rounded background allows me to contribute effectively in both technical and strategic capacities within the food sector.
