About

As Site Director, I am leading a fully autonomous entity, supplying multiple businesses. Building on experiences within operations, technology/R&D and projects, I succeed in creating ambitious yet tenable strategies. Important to me is to develop a deeper understanding of cultural sensitivities and self-awareness, by nurturing a curious mindset. These traits got honed through working in a start-up joint venture as well as in roles with global reach and in multiple countries. Eleanor Roosevelt's quote “A leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves.” intrigues me and guides me on my journey.
