Felix, SVP & Head of Digital, is a man on a mission – helping TOMRA's customers not only to buy the best-in-class sorting solutions but to buy their way into the future. Say what!? By using the data TOMRA collects from its machines to the benefit of their customers and the global food chain, TOMRA Food connects customers not merely a machine but to the possibility of outshining in challenging times.

David Coupez, Customer Centricity, Enablement and ACE (Advanced Customer Engagement) Program Lead, is joining us in the TOMRA Talks Food studio to look at the past, present and future of TOMRA Food. A peculiar conversation on TOMRA as a technological innovator at the core and how to balance that with smart Customer Engagement actions to keep ahead of the customer revolution. His piece of advice: 'Don't be afraid to use your creativity'.
Christian Steuwe is team leader “Apps”, but you won’t find his team’s work anywhere in the ‘App Store’. In this podcast, you will discover more about a team that gazes in the future and keeps TOMRA Food one step ahead of customer needs. The team is not only dependent on Artificial Intelligence (AI), and machine learning. Actually, Christian shares that the biggest accelerator in innovation is putting the client central and having colleagues from Sales, Service, … join in with their expertise. His best advice: ‘Stay close to each other & keep sharing your ideas’.
Jessica Brennan, Head of Transformation and Communications at TOMRA Food, onboarded about one year ago while TOMRA Food was … yep … as if it were written in the stars … in full transformation. While she explains to us that it’s all about people: involving everybody in the story, making sure we keep the big picture in scope and create room for (more female) leadership, we also get to know why an Australian aeronautical engineer ends up on Belgian soil (was she not aiming for Mars???). Her biggest piece of advice: ‘Be yourself, be bold, and speak up’.
Michel Picandet, Head of TOMRA Food, touches on topics like food safety and transformation. He talks about his daily routine, favorite dishes, and what he learned in China. But most of all: he gives you a unique insight into the mission he sees for TOMRA Food in the world around us. Be inspired and inspire in return!
