Richard O’Toole heads up Integrated Proteins EU and MENA division and is based in Dublin, Ireland.
Richard believes that getting out from behind your desk and comfort zone is key to successfully opening new and previously unexplored markets. Equally important is taking the time to meet in person and appreciating your suppliers’ and/or customers’ perspective, both essential in building and maintaining productive and long-lasting business relationships.
An expert in market development, Richard has successfully identified, permitted and introduced a number of EU pet food ingredients not previously available to a variety of international markets, including Australia and South America.
A long-suffering Irish Rugby and Liverpool supporter he lives in Ireland with his family, which includes two large and energetic hounds.
