Hey! I’m a veterinarian specialized in small animal nutrition with 3 years of experience in the pet food sector, specifically working with product management or development, but my experience extends to the product roadmap, being responsible for product ideation and creation, market analysis, development of product briefings and part of my job was also the formulation of dry, wet food, treats, oven-baked and different presentation supplements, understanding the product performance industrially and in vivo, I analyzed the results from palatability and digestibility to adequate the formula or communication. The teams that I interfaced the most were marketing, sales, supply chain, regulatory affairs, quality and industrial teams for assuring compliance and products premises. On the personal side, I am enthusiastic about non conventional ingredients, such as algae, fermented mushrooms, insect protein and nutraceuticals to enhance health, especially when aiming sustainability.
