• Operational Manager (COO)

  • Nov 2018 - Aug 2021

  Testa Omega-3 is an internationally operating purpose-driven nutritional supplement brand with the mission to replace all fish oil supplements with sustainable vegetable algae oil by 2023. In the past 3 years I have been responsible for the professionalization and further growth of the company. For example, we have built a new team with which we have changed as an organization from product-oriented to customer-oriented. Created, designed and successfully launched a new retail brand (Daily Supplements), built and migrated a new subscription-based e-commerce platform, became acquainted with the rockefeller habits, transformed the holding company into an incubator for sustainable and plant-based brands, and never again gone out of stock! I am happy that I was able to build a brand that makes an impact on people as well as their immediate environment and am proud of where we have brought the brand. Now it's time for a new challenge. So call me for a coffee, to change minds or get acquainted. I am available for a new (interim) assignment.
