Ahead of the must-attend virtual event Confectionery Live happening next month, 21-22 February, we are pleased to announce our next speaker; Bastian Hörmann, Global Marketing Director, Sweet Food at ADM.

Bastian joined ADM in 2014 through a commercial traineeship program and has since held a variety of roles within sales and marketing. He currently serves as Global Director for Sweet Goods, Dairy and Specialized Nutrition, based in Heidelberg, Germany.
