After the position had been vacant for 2 years, I effectively pioneered the business intelligence position, becoming the expert on everything to do with supply, demand and prices of polyamide-6, caprolactam and its raw materials. Among my responsibilities/accountabilities were: cost curves (cost price models), polyamide-6, caprolactam and ammonium sulphate fertilizer supply and demand outlooks, price monitoring and forecasting, competitor and customer intelligence and news gathering. I actively and proactively used my insights to direct actions of DSM’s investor relations department, the business group leadership (DSM Fibre Intermediates; industry leader with >1.400 employees in Europe, China and the US; turnover ~1,5 bln EUR), regional marketing & sales teams and intelligence colleagues at other business group. Furthermore, I contracted and interfaced with leading industry consultants.On behalf of DSM, I was an acting member of the Steering Committee of the Nylon-6 Promotional Group (NPG-6.com), an association representing a group of international companies that are active in the Nylon-6 industry, from raw materials to fibers, textiles, engineering plastics, film and dedicated equipment. I have led NPG-6’s revitalization by arranging professional association management organization and redesigning NPG-6’s communications.

In the context of the business re-engineering project Bolero at DSM, SAP based standard business processes were implemented at seven DSM service units. As a business process expert, it was my responsibility that the standard process of ‘Service Management’ was optimized and that the service units fully implemented the process and the supporting systems.

Since 2002, the Research & Business Campus at Chemelot (The Netherlands’ largest chemical site) has been developed into an ‘Open Campus’ for innovative start-ups and R&D departments of corporations. In the start up phase, besides attracting new companies to the site, I co-developed strategy (master planning) and policy. Later on, I focused on acquisition and developed my commercial skills. In this period, twenty three new companies settled at Chemelot, sixteen of which I count as my successes.As an informal leader, I was the pacemaker of a team (reporting to the ‘Regiegroep Chemie’, linked to the Dutch prime minister’s Innovation Platform) that drew up the business plan for the ‘Center(s) of Open Chemical Innovation’ initiative (COCI) in The Netherlands. In these COCIs, promising, chemically oriented SME’s are facilitated to attain accelerated growth. In December 2008, my efforts were rewarded when Holland’s first COCI was established at the Chemelot.

Benefiting from my collaborative and communicative skills, I succesfully improved and implemented several programs and systems to support the work of scientists, developers and patent attorneys.

I have lead development projects in the areas of chemicals (e.g. cross linkers for resins and paints), materials (e.g. melamine resins) en additives (e.g. flame retardants for engineering plastics.) At this position I could use my pioneering and creative talents to the fullest, resulting in being honored as ‘DSM Top Inventor’ in 2001 (6 patents).
