As biochemist and during a career in industry (of which over 30 years in the food sector), I have learned to have an open mind to new insights and developments and to aim for practical solutions based on sound science.I prefer to work on complicated matters which desire strong analytical skills to solve, cooperation with others and whose solution has an impact for obtaining a better world. As a person I prefer to take a rational non-dominating attitude, taking the lead, when needed in projects and daily life.
