Strengthening our commitment to a sustainable food system through expert leadership
A transition of leadership
As we look forward to this next phase, we also celebrate the contributions of Wouter Berkhout, General Manager, and Nadine Mooren, Commercial Director, who have both, independently, decided to move on to pursue new professional opportunities. We are grateful for their dedication and the significant impact we have made together.
We wish them every success in their next steps!
It is a privilege to take on the role of Director at Mérieux NutriSciences | Blonk. Having worked closely with our founder, Hans Blonk, I am inspired to carry forward the mission he started. I owe a great deal of thanks to Wouter and Nadine, who have worked tirelessly to professionalize our operations and set the stage for this next chapter. Because of the solid structure they built, we are well-positioned for the road ahead. With our talented team, I look forward to driving further positive impact, leveraging Blonk’s unique integration of expert consultancy, methodology development, and the data and digital solutions required to measure and improve the environmental performance of food value chains.
Driving positive impact
Together with our Management Team and the entire team, Janjoris is committed to driving a sustainable food system with the same passion and purpose that has always defined us.
