OUR HEROES
Agnes
Senior R&D Manager
Vesta Baking Solutions
“I love working for Vesta in Shanghai because the work combines what I am passionate about and good at, and we also we share the same values
towards food quality. Before joining Vesta, I was an artisan bakery chef and have always been passionate about French bakery and pastry. Using good quality ingredients to make excellent products was always essential for me. As a result of my culinary training and years of marketing experience I can explore ingredients and develop new products with a point of view different. I am glad that Vesta and I found each other.”
Neco
Purchasing Officer
Visco Selected Fine Foods
“I play an important part of the Visco team. The sales team count on me to have the right products in stock when their customers need them most.
I was born on a little island in the south of Brazil called Florianopolis. Florianopolis is well known for its beautiful beaches, seafood, and perfect weather conditions. I first fell in love with food in my mother’s kitchen.
My brothers and I would bring home fresh seafood caught at the local beach for Mum to make her traditional seafood feast known as a sequencia de camarao. Apetitoso (yum!) Dad worked for the first power company in Florianopolis and travelled throughout Brazil.
We would wait for Dad to return home with gifts of speciality salamis, chorizo, and cheeses he had bought from original providers on his business trips. My life changed forever one sunny day in Brazil, at the world cup football finals when I met my beautiful wife, Priscila. Priscila’s family are Italian and introduced me to a world of new cuisine. I fell in love with not only Priscila, but also pancetta, cheeses, pasta, and antipasto from all over Europe. Priscila and I shared a dream of traveling. We left our hometown to explore the world for 10 short months. 15 years later, and two beautiful children, we now call Australia home.
I am currently the Purchasing Officer for Visco Selected Fine Foods. I was very excited to be offered this opportunity as the role harnesses my passion for food and the very best quality product from around the world. I like that in my role, I play an important part of the Visco team. The sales team count on me to have the right products in stock when their customers need them most. I get out of bed every morning and smile.
We have a great team, right from our General Manager, through to our warehouse and logistics team. Everyone genuinely cares about the business and is keen to help each other succeed. I wouldn’t be anywhere else.”
“We blend cultures and ideas to drive inspiration, which is at the heart of our business philosophy and success.”
