Ali Afsar-Nazari joins us to head up Production Operations
The one thing advice I’ve repeatedly got when speaking of our ambitions is to not underestimate the grand task of achiecving full scale production.
Betting on our success, we have taken that advice to heart and hired Ali Afsar-Nazari, with more than 20 years of experience in the field. Ali has had a number leading positions at Cloetta / Fazer for 13 years where he started in production (site manager for chocolate factory with 350 employees) and has then held a number of strategic and operational roles across business development, finance and corp dev. in Sweden and Russia. He’s also optimised production lines in the automotive industry, worked in the medical and telecoms industry as well as spent a year or so on an oil rig.
About 3 months ago or so Ali started to explore the world of plant based foods and is well aware of the benefits as well as the work yet remaining. During our all hands last week Ali shared his initial excitement of being part of the team.
“Working for profit is like breathing, you always do it, but to work for a higher purpose is so much more rewarding”
Welcome to the team Ali!
