    Marianne Lomberg BVSc Hons Business Executive Officer @ Nestlé Purina PetCare

    Dr Marianne Lomberg qualified in 2002 and returned to Onderstepoort not long after, to lecture in behaviour and nutrition while doing postgraduate studies. Her interest in behaviour led her to always seek out pieces of vet equipment which make a practice visit less stressful to our patients. This eventually led her to founding Deliverbee.co.za, the official agency for Suntech Veterinary patient monitors in South Africa
