What Our Clients Say:

“I use The Compliance Accelerator Program of Food Safety Experts for my entire QA team at DFI Food Sourcing. The results have been beyond expectation - I have seen my team grow in a matter of months. We have a much bigger impact as QA in the entire organization and as a result saved our company a lot of money. The personal attention through coaching sessions has made my team even better and goals are achieved together.”

“I use the QFS Training Repository to stay up to date with food safety requirements, to get deeper insight in food safety and to learn from real examples. All the trainings are to the point and practical to implement. To have access to the Food Safety Forum and that the coaches participate in this forum is of a huge value for me.”

Kitty has spent more than 29 years helping quality professionals become more senior in their jobs and grow to the next level. Kitty’s educational background is food technology. Kitty’s motto is ‘many roads lead to Rome’. Kitty enjoys guiding quality professionals in their work.

Kitty has personally experienced that some managers like to keep their employees “small” and do not want to invest in knowledge or help in overcoming hurdles. All too often, these managers cause their employees to become stressed. As an interim QA manager, Kitty has regularly been able to guide “damaged” teams to work confidently on food safety again, to believe in their capabilities and to stand up for themselves. Kitty enjoys guiding quality professionals and watching them grow as a person and as a balanced and experienced quality professional.
