"As a woman in the food industry for more than ten years, I feel it's crucial to celebrate and recognise women, and give women a voice. I've seen firsthand that women are still a minority in senior leadership positions. That's exactly why I feel strongly that women in the food industry should be celebrated and recognised for their audacity, leadership, innovative thinking and for pushing boundaries. And this is exactly what the Women in Food & Drink Awards do. It's time to really celebrate women and stop keeping them in the shadows."
I'm Manon Galizzi, a flavour expert and food scientist with 10+ years in the Food Industry, including training at a flavour house and working with iconic brands like McVitie's. I help UK food and drink brands fix underperforming products, choose the best flavour profile and nail the flavour strategy for challenging formulations. I specialise in clean-label, plant-based and functional products. After seeing the same flavour mistakes repeated across the industry for years, I founded EPICSI to help brands think differently about flavours and use them to thrive.
