PROFESSIONAL FOCUS
What’s your role at Turbo Systems Engineering?
I am the Marketing & Hire Manager here at Turbo.
How did you get started in your career?
I originally started out in sales within the plastic fabrication sector, mainly managing and developing established brands. Over time, that naturally evolved into a broader marketing and business development focus.

Without a doubt, the people. We have a brilliant team with a real mix of experience and personality. Every day brings something different; there is never a dull moment!
What’s a project or achievement you’re most proud of?
Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Ramona Hazan, the owner of RAMONA's, and explore her journey into food automation. It was fantastic to hear first-hand how Turbo Systems helped introduce her business to automated production and how that step played a key role in scaling and growing her brand. Seeing a customer succeed as a result of what we do is incredibly rewarding.

My computer and mobile are essential. They keep me connected to customers, the team, and everything happening across our projects.
