A passion for food safety from an early age
From industry experience to international expertise
Growing with IFS
Konstantina's connection with IFS began during her studies at Wageningen University, when she joined IFS as an intern as part of her academic program. During this time, she contributed to the development of the IFS Food Packaging Guideline, gaining her first insights into the processes behind standard development and the collaborative work required to support the food industry.
Following this experience, she continued her journey as IFS Technical Manager within the IFS Academy, where she developed e-learning courses for auditors and industry professionals. Later, as part of the IFS Standard Management Team, she supported the development of the IFS Standards and supportive documents.
Stepping into the role of IFS Broker Standard Manager
Konstantina has recently taken on the role of IFS Broker Standard Manager, focusing on further developing and strengthening the IFS Broker Standard. While continuing to provide technical support to the team, she concentrates on advancing the standard and supporting its implementation across the global IFS network.
She sees this role as an exciting opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of the standard and to support stakeholders in maintaining high levels of safety, quality, and transparency throughout the supply chain.
A natural step to IFS
For Konstantina, joining IFS was a logical next step in her professional journey. Through her previous roles in the food industry, she was already familiar with and respected the organisation. From the moment she joined, she felt aligned with both the team and IFS's vision of driving trust and integrity throughout the supply chain.
What she particularly values are the collaborative working environment and the opportunity to work with colleagues and stakeholders who share the same commitment to safety, quality, and trust. Contributing to standards that support transparency and reliability throughout supply chains makes her work both meaningful and rewarding.
