About me

Who am I?

Having worked for > 20 years for major petrochemical multinationals my strenght is to succesfully commercialize new technologies using a mix of strong gut feeling and customer orientation always keeping the end result in mind.

Heavy avocate of 80/20 principle and strong preference for working outside-in
Passionate around catalysis, I like to apply its same principles in my working life: “getting to a better state through working with others”.

Track record of partnering, scaling-up and succesful commercialisation of a broad range of innovations ranging from catalysts, processes to new resins and final applications. Broad coverage of PO value chain from catalyst development, manufacturing, licensing, convertors to FMCG’s. 

Used to working with large international & multidisciplinary teams in diverse geopgraphies (EU, US, ME, Asia), I’ve been mostly active in senior to executive R&D related roles which I always coupled with strong external market / customer orientation.

Happily married father of 3 kids. Great outdoor lover and sports fanatic (indoor- & beach volleyball, running, road & moutain biking, climbing, alpine & cross-country skiing, hiking, SUP).
