Since February 2023, I have been managing our labelling department, but I started in January 2016 as a QA consultant. Within consultancy, I have also worked as a team manager and regional manager.
I truly enjoy working at Mérieux NutriSciences | Expert Partners because every day I collaborate with enthusiastic and driven colleagues. No day is the same, which keeps the work dynamic and challenging. It is also inspiring to work with a wide range of companies and the different challenges they face.
What I value most is the opportunity to keep developing and grow into new roles within the organisation. You are given the trust and freedom to take initiative.
One of the highlights of the year is our annual celebration on the last Thursday before Christmas. It is a day that reflects the strong connection within the team and the positive working atmosphere, always ending on the dance floor.
Within the team, I see myself as a connector. I find it important to create a positive working environment where everyone feels welcome and at home.

Consumers make purchasing decisions based on what they see and read. That is why commercial texts and visuals on packaging are just as sensitive as ingredient information. They must be accurate, substantiated, and legally compliant, without misleading or exaggerating. Especially for food products, supplements, and functional products, the line between a claim and a suggestion is becoming increasingly strict. That is exactly why proper validation is essential.

Packaging is your first point of contact with the consumer and therefore also the first checkpoint for regulators. Every statement on a label must be accurate, clear, and compliant with national and international legislation. From ingredient lists to allergens, from origin to health claims, mistakes are easily made, but the consequences can be significant, ranging from recalls to reputational damage. Proper labelling therefore requires more than knowledge. It requires structure, validation, and forward thinking.

A label does not only communicate what is in a product, it does so in the language of the consumer. Without accurate translation, a product simply cannot enter the market. Legislation requires labels to be clear and understandable in the country where the product is sold. Translation is therefore not just a practical step, but the key to trust, safety, and marketability.

Before a product reaches the shelf, it must demonstrably meet strict quality requirements. Retailers, regulators, and consumers all seek assurance: is this product safe, reliable, and compliant with legislation? A marketability report provides that proof. It combines analyses of product characteristics with label verification and regulatory compliance. This not only enables market access, but also builds trust in both brand and product.

Product information is the backbone of the food industry. From ingredients and allergens to packaging details, retailers, regulators, and consumers expect accurate and up-to-date data. A well-structured specification management system prevents errors, accelerates processes, and strengthens trust across the entire supply chain. For both producers and retailers, it is the key to transparency and continuity.

Logos on packaging are more than visual elements. They carry meaning. They build trust with consumers, guide choices in the supermarket, and demonstrate compliance with standards and regulations. But when a logo is used incorrectly, the effect can be the opposite. It can lead to confusion, doubt, or even legal consequences. Correct labelling is therefore not only about compliance. It directly impacts brand value and credibility.

A claim on packaging is powerful. It influences choices, builds trust, and helps products stand out. Whether it concerns nutritional values, health benefits, or sustainability, both consumers and regulators take a critical look. But with that power comes responsibility. Incorrect or unauthorised claims can lead to sanctions, reputational damage, and loss of credibility. Claims are therefore not just a legal requirement. They are a strategic tool.

Packaging is often the first thing a consumer sees. It shapes trust, appeal, and marketability. But beyond design and brand storytelling, the content of commercial texts and visuals must also be accurate. Artwork that does not comply with regulations can lead to fines, product recalls, or even blocked market access. Strong artwork is therefore not only creative. It must also be legally sound.

Additives play an essential role in many food products. They extend shelf life, enhance taste, and ensure the right texture. At the same time, every additive used is subject to strict legislation. Consumers expect clarity, and regulators demand compliance. The use of additives is therefore not just a technological choice. It is also about trust and compliance.
