TESTIMONIALS

People I’ve Worked With​

Stefanie Maak,
Project Manager at AFC Agriculture and Finance Consultants 

(2021-22)

We’ve collaborated with Konrad and Starfish Organic on two projects: the development of an organic knowledge platform in Ukraine which included the preparation and moderation of a webinar on organic integrity for eBiofach 2021 and conducting an online training series on organic standards for African stakeholders.

Konrad consistently demonstrates exceptional professionalism, meets deadlines efficiently, and delivers high-quality content. His commendable expertise as a trainer and facilitator, coupled with his extensive international experience and invaluable network in the organic sector, make working with him a pleasure not least thanks to his emotional intelligence.

We highly recommend Konrad and Starfish Organic to anyone in need of exceptional support in the organic industry.

Jim Pierce,
Coordinator for the Pacific Organic and Ethical Trade Community (POETCom)

(2021-22)

We had the pleasure of working with Konrad as a consultant on a Governance, Policy, and Standards review project. His expertise, flexibility, and commitment were invaluable to our project’s success. Konrad consistently delivered work of high standard, impressing us with his exceptional written documents and engaging in-person interactions. His comprehensive understanding of all facets of organic agriculture development was evident throughout our collaboration.

Without a doubt, we look forward to working with Konrad again in the future. We highly recommend him for any similar endeavours.

Evelyn Drawec,
Technical Advisor, Agriculture.

Ridge to Reef, Seychelles (2022-2023)

 

It was a great experience to have Konrad advise on developing an organic program for Seychelles.
 
He has a wealth of knowledge and brought in his vast experience from around the world to increase understanding of organic production and guarantee systems locally. Konrad took the time to really understand the situation on the ground in Seychelles, asked the right questions and helped to recommend a system which could most realistically be implemented to help support organic farmers and production systems. His final deliverables on the project exceeded what was asked and his thoroughness ensured there was a clear path forward.
 
I look forward to working with and learning from Konrad again.
