About

With over 25 years' experience in FMCG packaging and supplier development at different levels of multinational organizations, I currently focus on researching and establishing the feasibility of breakthrough packaging and sustainability solutions to the existing and emerging beverage portfolio, by assessing new technologies, proposing routes to new package formats, leveraging external technology from other markets, guiding current and new suppliers and implementing new concepts in a scalable fashion. I am driven by curiosity, development (both of myself and others through mentoring and training), attention to detail, critical thinking, teamwork, collaboration and best practices sharing. Having a multicultural background, I enjoy working in settings with a diverse range of personalities and learning styles and build effective relationships based on honesty, openness and trust.
