Plans are progressing strongly for our World Confectionery Conference, with Sebastiano Collino, becoming the second member of Ferrero to be joining our must-attend event this autumn as a keynote speaker.
As already confirmed, he will be playing his part alongside Francesco Tramontin, the company’s vice president EU institutions and group public policy, who will be participating in our Q&A session for our event on 11 September at the Marriott Grand Place, Brussels (see our exclusive video with him below).
The duo will be in esteemed company, with companies and organisations confirmed so far including Caobisco European confectionery trade association, Luker Chocolate, Alland & Robert, Corbion and Palsgaard, as well as leading sector insights from Mintel and Euromonitor, as we place industry sustainability, innovation and wider industry developments in supply chains including cocoa markets under the microscope.
You can register for this year’s event at the following direct link, with details of our programme as it is continuing to take shape, now available.
As Ferrero noted, Sebastiano Collino has over twenty years of professional experience in Nutrition and Human Health. He is currently the global head of Nutrition at Ferrero, where he translates commercial innovation strategies into nutritional readouts for all Ferrero product categories and brands.
Throughout his career, Sebastiano has combined his solid scientific background with extensive and diverse R&D experience in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies.
He has consistently worked in international settings, including Europe, Asia, and North America. His ability to adapt to different cultural and professional environments is evident in his fluency in multiple languages and his experience living on three different continents. Sebastiano has also led cross-functional teams, showcasing his leadership and collaborative skills.
Confectionery Production editor Neill Barston commented: “It’s great that after a fine duo of presentations from Ferrero last year, we will once again see the return of Francesco Tramontin as a highly experienced policy specialist for our Q&A. To have a second member of the company to join us in the form of Sebastiano Collino, who will be discussing how the company’s brands approach nutritional considerations will be an equally important contribution to our event. If you’ve yet to register, we welcome attendees from right across the industry.”
