Nicola Kilner

CEO and Co-Founder

Every day should start with a latte and half a salted chocolate chip cookie, dreaming crazily and making plans that make no-sense to anyone else. I hate silence and being alone, which may be why my phone is continuously on charge.

Past Experience: Boots.
Education: Business Management, Nottingham Trent University.

Prudvi Kaka

Chief Scientific Officer

Two things come to mind; crunching formula's in the lab or hitting badminton birdies on the court with Tom. So far, three years in Canada is kind of challenging, and I am looking forward to seeing my parents after three years. I’ve worked as a lab chemist since I graduated. I am having loads of fun and lots of laughs, and working hard at DECIEM.

Past Experience: Lab Chemist.
Education: Bachelor’s in Chemistry, Advanced Diploma in Biotechnology.

Alessandro Paron

Head of Supply Chain Management

I am an Italian native who has always had a great passion for travelling and exploring new cultures. My favourite destinations include London, New York City and, of course, Toronto. I am super curious about everything and anything, and really like to learn new things - one would not be surprised to know that I read random Wikipedia articles anytime
I can. When I was a kid, my dream was to become a banker… Unfortunately I have realized this might never happen (sigh!), so I now wish to open a café instead. I am an absolute foodie – I spend hours cooking and love watching cookery programmes just as much as I like eating out and discovering new restaurants. Other passions of mine are biking, foreign languages, architecture, design and… hazelnut gelato!

Past Experience: iStopOver Inc.
Education: Foreign Languages and Literatures, University of Udine.

Esther Rodas

Head of Art & Design

You may find the things that I do strange, but I'm not weird at all, I'm just a designer! Just to name a few things, I'm that person who stops midway while walking through a mall to feel the material of store signage. I also buy products only to keep the packaging. I'm a hoarder with collections of catalogues under my bed. I even go as far as checking my pantone swatches before going clothes shopping. Can you blame me? I want to make sure my shirt and socks match!

Past Experience: Engloba, NGT Creativity, Enblanc, Bowring.
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Advertising & Public Relations, + marketing, ESIC Business & Marketing School, Spain. Master's Degree in Design Engineering, Spec. Graphic Design

Jason Santos

Creative Director

Hopped across the pond from London, England for a true Canadian experience…EH! Born and bred in the city of London, I am a true city boy at heart. You can take the boy out of the city but not the city out of the boy. I’m excited to make Toronto my new playground! A normal graphic design day for me consists of designing. Re-designing. Bang head against wall. Edit. Re-edit and edit some more, but I wouldn’t change a thing. In graphic design no day is the same. I wonder what tomorrow will bring...

Past Experience: Santos Works, William Norris & Company.
Education: University of the Arts London: London College of Communication.

Julio Torres

Technology Director

A geek at heart and an artist by trade. Or vice versa.
As a kid I loved playing with gizmos. And with cardboard boxes. I would spend my afternoons creating complicated machines – which I called clocks – using rope, broken wind up toys and lots of boxes. I loved the endless possible ways to connect them and the steam-punk aesthetics of the finished contraption. My frustrated parents, tripping over my living room sized creations, used to point out it was a waste of money to buy me toys if I just wanted to play with their boxes. Then they had a great idea: they bought me a Lego set. Best present ever, including the awesome box it came in. Nowadays I play with gizmos for a living. And with cardboard boxes.

Past Experience: CockyPup, Indeed Labs, Euoko, DealerTrack.
Education: Computer Sciences, University of Havana, Graphic Design, Self Taught.

Andriy Zolotoiy

Education: Applied Mathematics, Kiev State University.

Alejandro Prado

Astrid de la Noue

Business Development Director

If I were a bird, I'd want to be a pigeon so I could city-hop and take up residence on the roofs of Notre Dame de Paris, along with all the other pigeons up there. That's because two things I truly love are good company, and a really great view.

Past Experience: Mercedes Benz China Ltd.
Education: Marketing and International Business, McGill University.

Manuel Fadrique

G'day mate! I'm from a far away land where we are known to ride our pet kangaroos, use phrases like "throw another shrimp on the barbie" and enjoy the acquired taste of vegemite. Only the last is actually true! You may think I'm crazy for leaving the beautiful beaches and warm weather in Australia to experience the cold, harsh Canadian winter but I've loved it here so far and seeing snow for the first time hasn't been the worst experience! Some of my main interests include travel, food, drinking and sports so if you like any of these, I think we'll get along just fine.

Jerome Clark

Graphic Designer

I am a person who finds writing about myself to be incredibly difficult.

Focused yet constantly crossing over to la-la-land, overanalyzing in silence or subconsciously thinking about future projects… or what I would change to a random poster I see in passing. I am your typical analytical, and observant creative type, who always has a camera with him, loves to try different foods and learning new languages. I also have this weird talent for remembering dreams
[I’ve been told it’s a Pisces thing, which would make sense] :)

Ricki Thompson

Head of Supply Chain Management, UK

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the HOL at a place called Deciem.

In west Nottinghamshire born and raised
On the football pitch was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some football outside of the school
When a couple of friends shouted "hey what's up Ricks"
Would you like to work at Deciem as the Head of Logistics
It took one little night and my mom said carpe diem
I said "I'm movin' to join a family at a place called Deciem"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said abnormal with dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was fun
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - "Yo, holmes to Deciem"

I pulled up to Unit Four about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie "Yo holmes smell ya later"
I looked at my family
I could finally see them
And sit on my seat as the HOL of Deciem.

I make people follow the rules for a living so naturally, I'm a ton of fun at parties. I hope you laughed at that because I've been told that it's my only good regulatory affairs joke, although that's never stopped me from making them. I've worked in regulatory affairs since I finished university and every time I think I've seen it all, there is a new challenge waiting around the corner. It's probably the part of my job that I enjoy the most. Outside of work, I love science, dogs, sports, quilting, the outdoors, adventures, and compliance.

Christian-Yves Brett

Head of Partnerships, Central Europe

Hi! I am the blond German boy who is amazingly happy to be overseeing the German market. I am not afraid to say I love skincare and beautiful niche fragrances. In the past, I did marketing for a car manufacturer in Shanghai, worked at a department store, and at a family-owned beauty boutique in Germany. If I am not playing around with CAIS or MMHC2, I love to go skiing, travel the world or just be with my amazing family and friends. I am really happy to be a part of the DECIEM family.

Francisco Morales

Intermediate Video Post Production

Since I was a child I knew that my passions lied in the creative world. I have always preferred movies to beaches and these days, I am extremely happy to be doing my hobby as my work. The first time I used an editing program was when I was 13 and from that moment on, it has been an ongoing learning experience. Basically, it is in my veins! :-D

I enjoy the little things in life. Cafes and landscapes are my drugs.
I really think there is always room for improvement and the little details make the difference.

Education: Media and Communications, University of Seville. Community Manager at Rey Juan Carlos University (Madrid)

Narmin Guliyeva

Quality Control Associate Manager

An ultimate science geek who holds two degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry (I know what you are thinking, but they are actually different). My passion for cosmetics originated way back in my childhood. The starting point was the day I have destroyed a couple of my aunts’ best lipsticks and perfumes.

I can always make time for a knowledgeable book, nice chardonnay and EDM events.

Hobbies: swimming, painting, collecting shot glasses and learning new languages (currently fluent in 4)

Seems quite Abnormal right? I guess I’m on the right team :)

Education: BSc Biochemistry - Baku State University, BSc Chemistry - York University

Jennifer Kim

Recruitment Manager

I'm curious about all things, especially about people. I have a wealth of random facts, just enough to carry a conversation with most people. Rock climbing is the perfect sport for me - I love puzzles and i'm super competitive (mostly with myself). Three things I can't live without are music, coffee, and my dog.

​Past Experience: Recruiter at The Source

Marizza Agyod

Inventory Control Associate

I am originally from the City of Pines. It feels wonderful to be here in The Six now, which is comparable to where I came from as they’re both a melting pot of race, culture and tradition (except for the weather). Nothing beats the chill of winter in Canada which reminds me, I like coffee, books and music.

Being in the NIOD section makes me think outside the box as we unwrap little boxes from a big box and box the product. There were so many boxes before this sentence but believe me, we unbox and box more than that in a real merry-go-round life.

P.S Think outside the bucks. xoxo

First off, I may not seem like a hugger, but I love hugs. If you ever need a hug, I’m here :)

I have an associate degree in Sociology and many years of retail experience.

I’m certainly not your A-typical gal. As an aspiring architect, I’m a major design-junkee and can be found drooling over my mass collection of art magazines.

I’m always finding ways to express myself creatively, whether I’m reconstructing vintage clothes or designing furniture pieces for my apartment. Nonetheless, I’m super stoked to be a part of a equally not so A-typical company ❤️❤️

I graduated in English Literature, with a focus on fashion, but now I’m all about the science of skincare. I love understanding exactly what’s going on beneath the surface, so you’ll usually find me geeking out over our newest launches - especially from NIOD.

A mediator, a black sheep, an empath, a keeper of the light, a Morrissey fanatic, a modern day Joan of arc, a campaigner, a believer in magic, a lover of perspective. I root for the underdog. Individuality is everything to me. You can find me people watching in awe on a crowded subway, with my journal in hand or dancing my heart away with my pals at a groovy 80s night spot. I live to leave my mark on this world, and in return, this world is leaving its mark on me.
