Experienced Application Development Engineer. With two feet on the ground -without sticking in the mud- I have a proven track record of business development. I have a Creative Mindset that rapidly learns from failure with a high success rate. In every organization I have worked in, able to achieve profitable growth by thinking differently, often by taking a different perspective. A successful relationship builder across functions, and at all levels, from the shop floor to CEO. Connected to industry experts in multiple geographies. A deep technical knowledge in Polyurethanes, carboxylated SB latex, polymer mechanical testing and Polymer Blends and Formulations (Solubility).
I enjoyed working with my customers, former colleagues and last colleagues. After a difficult 2021, I look forward to new contacts and opportunities.
