I have more than 25 years of international working experience in the high-tech industry with a broad network in the semiconductor and automotive business. I have specialized on business innovation management: opportunity assessment and guidance of new technology, product and/or service development followed by positioning this in the market for business creation. My career is based on a complete spectrum of fulfilled roles in the field of running a business, finance, strategy, business development, risk management, program & project management, people development & competence management, supplier management, and last but not least engineering. My analytical skills support me in creating a helicopter view from the entire business. In this way I can bring focus in complex projects with an attractive time to market. I am familiar with managing multidisciplinary teams at different locations in the world. With an open mindset and attitude I communicate clearly at different levels in an organization. I learned to deal effectively with uncertain circumstances and properly managed the associated risks of innovation programs. With a strong drive I translate technical capabilities into real business.Specialties: Innovation ManagementSemiconductor strategy & technology valuationProgram & project managementRisk managementNew business developmentPeople development & competence managementSupplier management
