ABOUT JEAN-JACQUES SANTARELLI
In the last 13 years, I have had the chance to work on my 3 passions (Innovation with purpose, Food Entrepreneurship and Social Engagement for Public Health in West Africa) always with the same objective: Make a difference and contribute to make the world a little bit better. I started in october 2021 studying a Master degree in Public Health at the London school of Hygiene and tropical Medicine, to acquire a medical background next to my qualifications in business and marketing.Ultimately, I’d like to combine with my strong expertise in finding creative solutions to complex problems, changing people’s habits in a positive way and making things happen!With 25 years of experience in International Brand Management and Innovation, I am working as Innovation Director for the Savencia Cheese & Dairy family Group with a strong focus on product innovation related to Nutrition and Health in BtoC (including healthy Snacking, plant-based offering and baby – children products) as well as BtoB (Health and Nutrition Dairy ingredients). The aims of our breakthrough Innovation Department at Savencia are to find the white spaces, build new categories and create an entirely new product offering based on disruptive technologies and science, as well as insights coming from all the food and non-food international markets.12 years ago, I co-founded the Franco-German NGO (Gegen Noma-Parmed), which I have been leading as a volunteer president with a strong involvement and time commitment since its creation.The charities in partnership with a local african association (the Network for Oral Health Promotion and Research in Africa) and the Ministry of Health of Burkina Faso combat the hunger disease Noma and malnutrition. For that we develop innovative and large-scale public-health prevention programs on Noma and its causes of malnutrition, hygiene and oral hygiene in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. A poor oral hygiene has been proven to have a strong negative impact on malnutrition due to the migration of the pathogens from the mouth to the intestine.These capacity-building, information and awareness programs have been supported by the Ministry of German Cooperation BMZ for several years.I have also been leading a German foundation as chairman in the medical field and working for the Savencia Foundation “Bien Nourrir l’Homme”, which is focused on Nutrition and Malnutrition.
