Renown for her easy communication style, translating the complex into relevant bite-sized chunks with the aim of making food relevant and nutrition meaningful, Dr Anneline is a highly sought after thought leader who has a reputation for mixing food and nutrition science, the functions of the human body, consumer behaviour and societal culture while forecasting future trends.

Testimonials

It’s my pleasure to acknowledge Anneline for her “Defining Drinks in an Evolving World: Functional Thirst Quenchers” presentation to Australian Beverages Council members during our annual Drinks Industry Dialogue. Anneline’s candid style, real world focus, technical expertise and market understanding won over the packed house from the moment she began speaking. And to no surprise, she received the highest ratings of all our speakers at the event. So much so in fact, that bringing her back in the future is a “no-brainer.” So, if you get a chance to bring her into your organisation or conference, do it before someone else books her.

Australian Beverages Council

Thank you so much for your fabulous presentation at our conference yesterday. It was our pleasure to have you as part of our program! I was simply AMAZED at the seamless way your mixture of animations, diagrams and text creates an irresistible information flow. Watching your presentation is like watching the best one-person documentary on Food Science and Nutrition I have ever seen! TV or elsewhere! Your gift as a communicator is truly beyond compare.
