Charissa Fahnestock
Portfolio & Project Manager, R&D Portfolio and Project Management Office
MY WORK
I am able to blend my unique biology and business background and apply it to the R&D Portfolio and Project Management Office (PPMO) where I support IFF Businesses in managing their innovation pipelines. I work with global, cross-functional teams to directly impact the R&D Strategy and growth of the company .
INSPIRATION
Working on a team that can shape the future direction of IFF is powerful and inspiring. I get to work on an R&D team that is looking through a science lens and a business lens. I’m excited to work on a portfolio that is built to create a better world. Every pipeline project is measured against that connection to our purpose.
Our Scientists
As we focus on innovation, our need for scientists and other talented employees is critical in the development of new products and technologies. This is an integral component of our growth strategy. Meet some of our people, who are not just challenging the status quo but working on the building blocks for products around the world.
