ABOUT JUAN MARIO GAMARRA
I’m a passionate and hands-on R&D professional with over 7 years of experience in the food industry, especially in starch, snacks, dry mixes, nuts, and confectionery. I love bringing new product ideas to life—taking them from early prototypes to full-scale production.Over the years, I’ve built strong expertise in product formulation, plant trials, and process optimization. I’m comfortable working with GMP standards, ingredient functionality, and sensory evaluation, and I enjoy the challenge of making products both technically sound and delicious.I’ve also had the chance to manage CAPEX projects, lead factory start-ups, and drive improvements in food safety, quality, and cost. Thanks to my background in sales, I keep the consumer in mind and strive to develop products that truly meet market needs.I enjoy working in dynamic, collaborative environments where creativity, speed, and continuous learning are part of the culture. Whether it\'s testing new ingredients or improving existing processes, I’m always curious and ready to explore new ideas.If you\'re working on something exciting in food innovation or product development, I’d love to connect.
