Since 20+ years the plastics processing industry is my playing field, where I grew and further leverage my skills and knowledge within private and public organizations. Until today, I have gained a wealth of experience from different companies, functions, raw materials, processing and converting technologies, applications, innovative and sustainable solutions, industries, customers, end users, across established and emerging markets. Every day a new world which enriches my personal and global professional network.

As Business Manager Flexible Packaging EIMEA at H.B. Fuller, I was responsible for the management and further development of the business at EIMEA region to strenghten and to expand our market position by setting up, leading and exploring ways and visions of implementing adhesives solutions into the flexible packaging industry.

Coming from a family business, it is normal for me to bear responsibility, be entrepreneurial, generate networks, develop, and expand markets. I demonstrate my emphatic, team-orientated leadership qualities daily, in line with my credo: "Leading by example". I find balance enjoying mother nature, hiking, spending quality time with family and like-minded people, reading, playing guitar, and singing. Let's get connected!
