About Akshay Kumar Sharma

With over 13 years of extensive experience in Food Safety, Hygiene Standards, Auditing Standards, Compliance Assessment, Brand Standards, and Workplace Health & Safety evaluations, I am a skilled professional in resourcefully managing food safety solutions, regulatory compliance, food safety consulting, training, and education. Throughout my career, I have conducted numerous food safety audits and inspections to assess compliance with food safety regulations, identify potential risks, and recommend corrective actions. Additionally, I have expertise in conducting hygiene audits and inspections to assess compliance with hygiene standards, identifying areas of improvement, and recommending corrective actions. One of my key strengths lies in maintaining accurate records and documentation related to food safety activities, inspections, audits, incidents, and corrective actions. My ability to prepare clear and concise reports summarizing findings and recommendations has been instrumental in facilitating effective decision-making processes. Certified in various areas, including Food Safety by the Saudi Royal Commission, HACCP Levels 2 & 3, NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, and more, I am committed to staying updated with the latest industry standards and regulations. In my current role as the Global Food Safety & Public Health Sales Specialist at NSF International, GCC, I lead a team of auditors performing food safety and brand standards audits in stores located across MENA regions. I conduct food safety audits for multinational food retail chains and generate sales proposals for new clients while providing consultative expertise and customized solutions. With a passion for quality assurance, food safety management systems, hygiene regulations, and sanitation, I continuously seek innovative projects and opportunities to enhance safety standards in the food industry. As a dedicated and honest professional, I approach challenges with self-confidence and an eagerness to learn. Outside of work, I enjoy maintaining a healthy lifestyle through gym workouts, playing cricket, and reading books. I am open to new opportunities and ready to contribute my expertise to organizations committed to ensuring the highest standards of food safety and quality.
