Moyosore Adenmosun

Moyo Adenmosun

Head of Career & Personal Development

 

Moyo is a Senior Manager in the Logistics Centre of Excellence team at Arla Foods who loves cooking and is intentional about cooking meals with a diverse range of vegetables, grains, cereals, legumes, seeds and nuts as diversity in our food supply is a good thing for planet!

Before joining Arla Foods, I earned my MBA from TIAS Business School in the Netherlands, following a five-year degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bath in the UK and a year working at a Heineken production site in Utilities Engineering. At 16, I chose Chemical Engineering to understand consumer products better. I’m the type of consumer who meticulously reads labels and dives into research papers before making purchases.

In my down time, I enjoy listening to fiction audiobooks, doing ‘non-footwear requiring’ exercises like pilates, solving sudoku puzzles, and occasionally writing short stories or songs. I also enjoy cooking. A few years ago, I read a WWF report that stated that 75% of the global food supply comes from only 12 plant and five animal species, which impacts the resilience of our food systems negatively. So I am intentional about cooking meals with a diverse range of vegetables, grains, cereals, legumes, seeds and nuts. Diversity is a good thing for planet!
