Background

About Thomas Lyk

I love food. I love working with people. As a leader and as a person. I love business development. I love spices and ingredients. I love key account management. I love being able to dig into the challenges that our customers experience and help with solutions. But most of all I love being able to work in the space between sales, R&D, production and quality. I love being able to use my vast experience in these areas, achieved by more than 25 years of working in the food industry. I am responsible for a small team of hard working specialists. I am responsible for R&D and the pre-sale strategy for our biggest customer. I am responsible for the development of pre-sale tools for our valued customers. I drive innovation for our biggest customers with my dedicated R&D team. I use a fair share of my time trying to understand our customers better. And most importantly building a long lasting relationship with our customers. I am good at converting ideas and trials into full scale production due to my vast experience in food industry processes and years of working in factories. I am good at making solutions in taste and functionality that suit the wishes and processes of our customers. I am good at reducing time to market in projects due to my many years of experience in project management. I am not good at working in an unstructured and toxic environment. I am not good at working with people who treat other people poorly. I am not going to push my employees beyond what is fair. Other than that I run like hell - or long distances anyway. I am a prize winning sausage maker - back in the day. I play music. You can find me on Spotify and Apple Music. I love my family. Nothing matters more to me.
