After more than 10 years working in academia in Brazil and broad experience as a Post Doc in the USA, she moved to Switzerland to pursue a career in one of the largest global food companies. This experience has given her the chance to understand how important it is to be able to “translate” scientific research over to a business scenario. Additionally, she also provided scientific expertise to food companies on science-based evidence in order to support their scientific communication.

Evolva is a pioneer and global leader in sustainable, fermentation-based approaches and focuses on producing high-quality ingredients for use in applications for health, wellness and nutrition.
