Bio
Luciana Silva, CFS
Kenny has strong work ethics and analytical skills, and is a very talented Food Scientist. We had the opportunity to work together in two occasions, and in both situations Kenny showed a deep understanding of the business needs in order to plan and execute tasks, analyze data, document and communicate results. Besides having a very strong technical background, Kenny also has the ability to communicate and operate really well in a cross-functional environment and manage multiple projects and assignments. I highly recommend Kenny as he will always be a great asset to the Team.
Nick Suffredin
Kenny has been an outstanding scientist. He has shown strong work ethic and able to be nimble with projects as we all had to wear many hats. Kenny was able to pick up and learn new skills quickly to adapt to our innovation schedule while also being able to maintain our renovation projects. I highly recommend Kenny for R&D as he is very creative and approaches each challenge with a winning mindset.
