About

Experienced cleanroom specialist with a Master’s degree in Biochemistry and over 13 years at Ecolab, including 10 years in commercial roles focused on the Klercide cleanroom portfolio. Currently serving as European Technical Coordinator. I manage complex technical enquiries across Europe and lead training sessions on contamination control, product knowledge, and cleaning/disinfection protocols for GMP environments. Certified with Certibiocide and IRCA-trained in basic auditing principles, I support clients with regulatory compliance and hygiene strategies aligned with biocidal regulations and quality standards. I'm also an active member of VCCN, engaging with the latest developments in contamination control. Combining technical expertise with strong communication skills and an understanding of operational challenges, I help bridge teams across sales, marketing, technical services, and operations—driving practical, compliant solutions for cleanroom applications.
