Jan Przezdziecki

I was born in England, but spent most of my childhood in upstate New York.  My father worked for Eastman Kodak in Rochester, NY.  I attended The University of Buffalo where I graduated with a BS/MS in Chemical Engineering.  I met my wife Janice at UB (in the Goodyear dorm cafeteria).  She graduated with a BS in Nursing.  After graduation we moved to Cincinnati, Ohio to work for Procter & Gamble and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

I spent a large part of my professional career with Procter & Gamble in a range of Product Development and Quality Assurance roles working primarily on  health and beauty care products.  Since leaving P&G in 2013, I have worked for several global companies leading their quality and product safety teams.  This includes Carlsberg (beer), Hasbro (toys), and most recently Reckitt, the company that makes Lysol, Airwick, Finish and other well known household consumer products.  I spent several years living and working outside of the US, including Puerto Rico (3 years), London (5 years), Switzerland (3 years).  I am currently living and working again in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Janice and I raised a large family with 2 girls and 2 boys.  All our children are grown up and now hard working adults!  When I am not working I enjoy golf, skiing, fly fishing, and I recently learned to sail while living in Rhode Island.
