I have also:▪ Developed and implemented a new pricing strategy for improved value generation and capture in the activated carbon market, maintaining dominant market share and improving margins. ▪ Transformed manufacturing methodology for core technology, realizing yield improvement of >10% for increased productivity and reduced unit costs.
