Andre Silva
He/Him
I am gay and I am a field marketing specialist for cannabis & F&B.//
I am Portuguese and I currently live in the UK. I graduated with an MSc in Forensic Science from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, back in 2018, place where I also worked as an Associate Lecturer.
I currently do Field Marketing for the Cannabis and Food & Beverage industries, promoting products that are necessary for manufacturing and quality control testing. As part of my role, I am involved in initiatives related to the innovative new food industry (cultivated meat & alternative protein foods).
The company I work for also gave me the opportunity to become Co-Chair of our internal ERG, Rainbow Network UK&Ireland, role that allows me to promote an inclusive and diverse work environment, develop regular educational content and organize events with external speakers, and drive awareness to the wider community.
As for my free time, I try not to have any, filling up my schedule with sports, literature, podcasts, travelling and any other hobby that sparks my curiosity. 🙂
