Guillaume WAMBST

HSE Manager chez UCB

Monthey, Valais, Switzerland

About

22 years of experience in chemical, pharmaceutical and agrochemical plants. Specialized in production and management of industrial risks, I completed my industrial knowledge with a post-graduate degree in Supply Chain at Warwick-University -UK. I have implemented numerous projects to reduce production costs and improve operations through operational excellence mindset. I have also led many projects in environmental compliance, ISO 14001 certification and Occupational health/safety/environment. Beyond technique, it is my qualities as a leader that best characterize me. All of my industrial successes have been the fruit of a collective effort with men and women who have been inspired and committed, guided by a sense of belonging to a service, a production unit and beyond by a common vision. Collective strength is an asset for any company that wants to be modern, profitable and sustainable.
