Together we have over 40 years of hands-on experience in the animal care industry in Europe.
Our professional paths first crossed when we were building the Iams Europe team and
to a great extent we are complementary to each other. One is more au fait with the broader spectrum, the strategy, whereas the other has a much keener eye on detail and masters the operational aspects.
Together we form the full circle!
