Lisanne also has superb networking skills, and works effortlessly with people from all levels of the business and all different cultural backgrounds making her very easy and enjoyable to work both with and for."

"Nicolas and Lisanne contributed so much to our project that it was truly transformational. They are both highly professional and trained food scientists which was fantastic for us as we are always striving to improve our bakery products and we developed natural and healthy ways of extending the shelf life with their knowledge.

"They were very professional and systematic in their approach, and were very adapt at acclimatising to our local context and needs... Making the best out of every situation. They work very well together as a team, each taking on different areas of responsibilities to get the job done and are supportive of each other to complete their collective task. They take their tasks seriously and are so easy to work with."



Sabina Arokiam, Managing Director, PLC, Batu Arang, Malaysia



"We hired Lisanne to provide consultancy services for our ethnic food startup. It was a pleasure working with her from the beginning till the end. She was very responsive, patient throughout the process, and provided us guidance on topics above and beyond what the scope of the project was.
We were initially unsure of how she would be able to provide value on our ethnic recipes in particular, but she did a ton of research and was very well versed in that category too. Looking forward to working with her again in the future, and would encourage others to too."
