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.

Zakaria Mjoun - Traffic Officer

Born to Moroccan parents and raised in Switzerland, I am passionate about commodity trading and constantly eager to learn. I love Brazilian jiujitsu, traveling, and enjoying life with my family and friends. Not to forget, I have a fondness for dark chocolate !

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...

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…

Klaudia Gonciarz - Data Analyst
