I’ve worked in F&B and Petcare innovation and development for over 20 years, from hands-on in professional kitchens to mapping out technology futures for global FMCGs.

Why do I love working at Huxly? The people – kind, open and encouraging, I’m given the support, resources and flexibility to keep pushing towards new ways of delivering true breakthrough innovation.

There’s a Turkish restaurant on Lewisham Way in South London called Meze Mangal that’s close to my heart. I’ve spent birthdays here, meals with friends and family, partners and more than a few times, solo. It’s a restaurant for everybody and is always packed with groups of people from a million different backgrounds eating and celebrating together.
