Who we are

Arla Foods is a big global dairy company with approximately 20,000 employees across 30 countries and over 8,450 dairy farm owners in Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Thus, Arla is a cooperative, a global business, a family of brands and thousands of people working together across markets. While each of us have important individual roles to play, from farmers to marketeers, food scientists to distributors, it is our collective strength that sets us apart as a company that's more cooperative than corporate. 

What we do and why we do it

In Arla Foods, our research and new product development teams work together to build science, new technologies, local knowledge, consumer tastes and regulatory frameworks to develop new product formulations for launch e.g., into a new market. At Arla Innovation Centre, along with product development teams in the UK, Sweden, China, Germany, Netherlands, Finland and the US, we passionately innovate from farm to plate to create the future dairy products to the world. We do this with state-of-the-art science and consumer labs and a 2000 m^2 pilot plant, with more flexibility to install any type of process needed for our innovation projects. Our researchers are strongly connected, and make innovation happen, all across Arla and its markets by working closely with suppliers, universities, and specialist technology companies.

At the Arla Innovation Centre, you become part of a multicultural organization with a great working atmosphere.

How will a career as management consultant with McKinsey & Company be different from academia? Every McKinsey engagement demands the same qualities you need to succeed in academia: strong problem-solving skills, intellectual curiosity, and the drive to achieve results. The difference is, at McKinsey you’ll be working with and presenting your findings to business leaders. McKinsey consultants learn to solve problems quickly and make fast decisions, even when they don’t have all the information about a particular subject. Consultants with PhDs say one of the biggest challenges - and most attractive aspects - of a career with McKinsey is this shift in thinking. In the academic setting, you are diving deep into a subject, often spending years gathering and analyzing data. At McKinsey, consultants learn to work with the most important information, whittle a problem down to its core, and offer a solution that helps a client make better decisions, often when it’s not a clear-cut, easy answer.

NMD Pharma has a unique experimental platform focusing on ion channel function and electrophysiology of skeletal muscle. We develop small molecule inhibitors of skeletal muscle-specific ClC-1 ion channels that have a promising therapeutic potential in a range of neuromuscular diseases in which muscle activation is failing leading to muscle weakness and excessive fatigue that compromise the ability of patients to conduct essential human behaviour and cause lack of independence.

Our initial focus is on myasthenia gravis, spinal muscular atrophy, Charcot-Marie Tooth’s disease, and sarcopenia. Each of these diseases has a profound impact on patient's functional level and their overall quality of life.
