Meet the team

Sophie Giesbrecht, Traffic Officer

Enjoy hiking, always with a bar of chocolate in my bag.

Hein Flore, Nuts, Seeds and Coffee Trader

Born in Holland but prefer the mountains to the canals... I moved to Switzerland but still enjoy an occasional Heineken beer, a real stroopwafel, or watching the Dutch football team lose at the most important moments.

Audrey Bussien, Head of Logistics

Fighting every day not to eat chocolate in excess because there is a lot of temptation at the office. On the other hand running away from the enemy is for cowards...

Martin Rossi, Sustainability Manager

Parisian that left the city, I discovered the cocoa in Madagascar and in Ivory Coast. Fell in love with it, even though I don’t say no to white chocolate sometimes…

Renzo Verne, Sustainability Director

Always on the lookout for an adventure and a reason to smile

Eliana Mingard, Certification Manager

Coming from a city at 2’700m altitude in the majestic Andes mountain range of South America, I could easily find in Switzerland one of the things that I like the most: hiking... and chocolate!

Esther Vannay, Traffic Operator and HR Coordinator

After 13 enriching years in Asia, it feels good to enjoy again the Swiss Riviera, while still learning about the world and new cultures through cocoa.

Emma Rossi, Cocoa Trader

Born in Burgundy in France, I should say that my first passion is wine … but my love for mountains and travels is even bigger ! (A bit of chocolate is also well appreciated )

Sébastien Loertscher, Head Accountant

Raised in an eclectic upbringing. Born in Switzerland from a Malaysian mother and a Swiss father who himself was born and had lived in Brazil for 20 years.

I am grateful to be a part of CCS company. It is more than just a company; it's a family that values integrity. I take pride in playing my role as a Middle Officer.

Stéphanie Mermet, Sustainability Manager

With Swiss and Ecuadorian roots, I was just meant to love chocolate. My journey with cocoa started in Costa Rica in 2016, I've worked with cocoa from tree to bar and I am always eager to learn more and contribute to the world of sustainable chocolate.

Sathiya Muthiah, MD Singapore branch

From Singapore, but grew up in Brunei, Australia and now settled back in sunny Singapore. Always up for travelling, good food and conversations!

Frédéric Coudray, Head of Cocoa Trading

I wanted to discover Africa to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps, and I found cocoa on my path! I love sharing a meal, the mountains, and above all, riding a motorcycle.

Julien Grosjean, Traffic Operator

Born to a Swiss father and a Swedish mother, I grew up in Switzerland. In my free time I love road cycling even if I am faster at eating chocolate.

Larissa Formicola, Head Treasurer

I am only enriched by travel

Reka De Blasio, Treasurer

Shafeez Hussein, Traffic Manager, Singapore branch

A very easy-going person. One thing I do like is meeting new people to find out about different ways of life, where people are from and what they think. I’m a good mixer.

Foodie Lover from Singapore!! Work hard, Play Hard!

Dutchman born in Switzerland so no wonder I love cheese! Other than that I also enjoy sports, making or listening to music and having a drink with friends (preferrably a Guinness or a Heineken, or both).

Augustin Planty, Trade Director

Originally from Bordeaux, France. Worked in a Languedocian's wine bar and prefer a Burgundy but please keep it quiet otherwise I won’t be able to come back to my family anymore...

Julie Deglise, Accountant Assistant

No need to go very far for traveling! Open yourself to others, the trip is worth it!

Magali Bühler, Treasurer

As Swiss and French nationality, I wouldn't be able to choose between good wine and good chocolate. I love discoveries and the beautiful surprises they can bring. My way of life can be summarized by this phrase: 'You can have results or excuses, not both.
