About Jannes

Met 15 jaar ervaring in de internationale B2B voedingsindustrie, vorm ik de brug tussen complexe R&D-innovaties en commercieel succes. Ik help ingrediëntenproducenten en food-tech scale-ups bij het ontsluiten van nieuwe markten door technische superioriteit te vertalen naar een onweerstaanbare business case.

Mijn expertise richt zich op het optimaliseren van productformuleringen binnen vier kernsegmenten:

Bakery: Verbeteren van textuur, houdbaarheid en eiwit- of vezelverrijking in clean label applicaties.

Beverages: Oplossen van stabiliteits- en oplosbaarheidsvraagstukken in functionele en plantaardige dranken.

Confectionery: Strategische suiker- en vetreductie zonder concessies te doen aan mondgevoel of kristallisatie.

Ice Cream: Specialisatie in vries-dooi stabiliteit, overrun-controle en natuurlijke emulsificatie.

Mijn Toegevoegde Waarde:

Technical Sales Acceleration: Ik verkort de adoptiecyclus (time-to-market) door een rigoureuze pre-kwalificatie van leads op basis van hun processing (UHT, batch, extrusie).

Strategic Interim Support: Beschikbaar voor markttoegangsstrategieën, interim business development en het herpositioneren van productportfolio’s.
