💡 Driving progress with curiosity, energy, and innovation | Turning Vision into Value 🌍I'm inspired by the drive for the big picture and focus on breaking down complex challenges into manageable processes and creating innovative, value-driven solutions with lasting impact. Success, for me, means turning potential into measurable results - powered by the right people, positive energy, and a relentless focus on progress.As Director of Supply Chain Performance Management at Evonik’s Nutrition & Care Division, I lead initiatives that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and financial growth across multiple business lines. Over the past 5 years at Evonik, I’ve held leadership roles such as Global Head of Digitalization, where I implemented data-driven programs, scaled digital solutions globally, and empowered teams to achieve operational excellence.What excites me most is designing and implementing (digital) solutions that simplify workflows, optimize processes, and drive tangible business outcomes. My scientific background and experience in chemical production have shaped my approach and shown me that the people dimension is the most critical factor in any transformation.In previous roles, including Deputy Plant Manager, I led the optimization of chemical plants and integrated cutting-edge technologies. This combination of hands-on operational experience and strategic thinking has allowed me to create significant value - whether by improving processes, reducing waste, or driving innovation in a circular economy.I've had the opportunity to share my insights on numerous podcasts and as a speaker at events, reflecting my passion for engaging with inspiring people. My three years of research, including work on 3D printing technology and chemical process intensification, have been recognized in leading scientific journals and cited over 80 times.Having lived and worked in Australia, Portugal, China, and Belgium, I’ve gained a global perspective and a deep appreciation for diverse ideas and approaches. I believe in the power of collaboration. Today, I work with international partners across industries, always seeking new ways to connect people, ideas, and technology to drive shared progress.
