I used to be a senior energy executive with over 20 years experience in the utility sector and more than 30 years of professional experience in total. My expertise relates to portfolio management, project development and management, origination Sales (management), procurement, (renewable) energy, refining and catalysis. I closely follow both economic and technological developments in the Oil & Gas, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Construction, Pulp and Paper and Food and Dairy industry.Others consider me a a trustworthy, upright person in my business doings, yet focused on the best possible result. I communicate clearly and open and will not avoid "difficult" conversations. Making things happen is my forte. I do have an opinion and act on it. I prefer to run the business as it is my own, fast, efficient and with (future) profit in mind. I think out of the box, look at things from multiple angles and take decisions, at the same time I can be an intuitive decision taker, this is what I like to and do apply in my work. My broad interest is helping me to be a good speaking and sparring partner for people coming from many sectors of industry and walks of life.I am a firm believer in sustainable solutions, reducing the per capita footprint in a planet that does not grow bigger is a requisite, Taking careful consideration on the use of (raw) materials in processes utilizing state of the art technology should be on everyone's mind.
