I have an educational background in biotechnology and worked as scientist, project manager, program manager and line manager in various parts of Gist-brocades, Genencor International and DSM in the Food & Nutrition cluster. I enjoyed the responsibility of leading and motivating international, multi-disciplinary teams towards completion of new product- and process development projects. I gained both operational and commercial experience via developing manufacturing processes and launching new products. I am an industry expert in wide range of food ingredients (enzymes, yeast, yeast extracts and process flavours) with > 25 y experience.
