Henrik Aabye Jensen: Phone: +45 29484457, Mail: aabye-h@post1.tele.dk Side 3 af 4 Employment: 1995 : Senior Application Specialist Danisco / DuPont,Brabrand In 1995 I was employed by Danisco A/S as application manager in enzymes for fruit juice industry. Here I worked in technical sales of enzymes and optimization of processes in the juice industry for Danisco's customers. The work was so successful that one of our competitors offered to buy the whole Danisco's production of enzymes, which unfortunately left me with a job no longer needed. I was transferred to the "Fruit Group" where I worked with the fruit industry. At the same time, I was involved in the development of a new series of special pectin for the confectionery industry. When the Confectionery Group was established I joined, and since 1999 I have worked in this area. My work is mainly the development of new concepts for the confectionery industry, technical support to Danisco's / DuPonts sale force, agents and customers through seminars, technical meetings and trials, both in pilot scale (away and at home) and in production. I have experience with the interactions between ingredients, equipment and products. I have been the project leader in the development of our concepts "Better for You Fruit Snack", Texture Differentiation and Taste and Texture for commercial campaigns, and I have experience in using the cooking extruder for creating a liquorice robe with a filling. Most recently I have been the main driving force in developing and implementing the carrageenan for confectionery in close cooperation with customers in Ukraine and Russia and German equipment suppliers with high awareness on the commercial aspects. The project was a great commercial success. During my stay in the US and China and in close cooperation with customers and equipment suppliers to the confectionery industry, I have established good contacts both locally and internationally. I have especially travelled in North America, Eastern Europe, and Russia and some in the Middle East, North Africa and South East Asia. I am use to work independently and in teams across countries and continents. I am a skilled presenter with presentations to customers, at Danisco / DuPont seminars in Denmark and abroad and at international confectionery events at several occasions, both in English and German. The confectionery team was terminated in January 2016 as a part of the restructuring of DuPont prior to the merger with Dow Chemicals, and I am looking for new opportunities.

Working with the student projects keeps me aware of the new generation of engineers. 1993 1995: Sales Manager, Orana,Rynkeby In almost two years I worked as Sales Manager for Orana responsible for development and sale of fruit preparations and fruit compounds to dairy and beverage industry in South East Asia. It was an independent work based on the development of products in the laboratory in Denmark and presentation of products to customers. I travelled 80 days per year in countries from India to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore to Philippines. For a period, and in cooperation with other suppliers, I was involved in implementing a yogurt production in Vietnam's leading dairy. 1982 1993: R&D Engineer, BiotechnologyInstitute,Kolding From immediately after my MSc and in 11 years I worked at the Biotechnology Institute with applied research, development, service and advice in close contact with customers in the food industry. Here I obtained my first skills in the development of technology, processes and products from idea stage to production. I had the responsibility for development of fresh salad products, fermented vegetables and the creation and execution of a control of the Danish fruit juice industry. In this period I developed a vast knowledge of fruit and vegetables.
