Not sure how to move forward with sustainability?
(You’re not alone. Most F&B brands aren’t either.)
I help EU food & beverage companies turn sustainability goals into systems that actually work – compliant, practical, and built for how your team already operates.
“She understood how we operate and built the process around that. Ana helped us stay focused through clear communication and realistic goals. It’s been a real partnership.”
— Albert M., Head of Procurement at a retail brand
Why teams work with me
📌 Senior expertise without the full-time price tag
You get 150+ companies’ worth of experience across the EU food & beverage without the cost or commitment of a new hire. Flexible, on-demand support that adapts to your priorities.
📌 Clear priorities that translate into action
I use a framework that evaluates your sustainability maturity and identifies the gaps holding you back. You’ll know exactly what’s missing and what to prioritise.
📌 Systems that get implemented
I don’t hand over a strategy and walk away. I work with your team to build the processes, workflows, and accountability structures that make sustainability operational.
Choose the support that fits your pace
Sustainability isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some brands need structured guidance. Others need hands-on collaboration. Some need someone to lead the work externally while internal capacity catches up.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked with companies across F&B manufacturing and retail, supporting them with systems, strategy, and certification preparation.
My focus is on turning sustainability into an operational, measurable, and credible business practice that supports long-term resilience.
“Ana has a deep understanding of ESG issues, providing a detailed and accurate analysis of performance.
Her ability to collect and interpret data was essential to the production of a comprehensive and quality report.
I highly recommend Ana for her expertise, professionalism and dedication.”
Viviana S., Project Manager – Operations & Compliance at a multinational Group
“Ana is an incredible self-reliant go-getter!! She brought incredible knowledge and passion to the project and worked tirelessly without prompts.
She had incredible communication and made sure I was aware of what was going on every step of the way.
I will most definitely be hiring Ana again in the future. A++++++++”
Curtis H., CEO of a small pet brand
“Having Ana as our Fractional CSO meant I wasn’t left translating sustainability goals into strategic direction alone.
She brought the strategy, the facts, and the internal alignment, so by the time we had to share our impact report externally, we already had sustainability built into how the business operated.”
Simone L., Operations Manager at a manufacturing brand
Why do brands work with me?
I’ve worked on sustainability from every angle: strategy, implementation, compliance, and communication. I’m a trained GRI professional, qualified in both GHG Protocol corporate and product carbon accounting, with additional training in LCA, carbon management, and environmental risk assessment.
I have extensive experience supporting sustainability strategies and certification processes across food & beverage.
But what clients value most? I bring structure to complexity and translate evolving standards into practical systems they can actually use.
Why I do this work.
My background in ecosystems helped me understand how systems interact, and how one decision can shift the balance.
From waste impacts in Cameroon to water pollution in Indonesia, I saw firsthand how business decisions affect ecosystems and communities.
Back in Europe, I’ve worked across sectors: advising on a national roadmap for agricultural decarbonisation, assessing environmental and social corporate risks, and evaluating certification readiness for F&B producers.
Today, I support brands that want to lead with integrity, helping them build systems that align values with day-to-day operations.
