Jan K.

A passion for science drives me to explore projects with curiosity while keeping practical applicability in mind, satisfying both research and development objectives. I enjoy a hands-on approach, incorporating self-acquired technical skills in my work. Knowledge transfer and skills development are key to my method. After completing my doctorate in Biotechnology, I applied myself in the distilling industry. As an independent consultant, I work with new and existing businesses to develop products, design, and equip production facilities, provide on-site training, and upskill staff. I have worked in South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya, interacting with a diverse range of people, honing my skills as an effective communicator to a broad audience. I see the understanding of science and scientific principles as the key driver to sustainable human development and upliftment, and an invaluable tool for any industry or individual.
