About

More than 15 years experience in consumer centric Research & Development and Product Supply with Procter & Gamble. My responsibilities have covered business for most regions of the world, with assignments in Brussels and Beijing continuously working in a multi cultural and international environment providing me with a truly global perspective. With experience in a wide range of technical disciplines (Project Engineering, Process Development and Consumer Research/ Consumer Innovation strategies), my passion is leading technical teams to develop and support longer term strategies based on newly generated consumer insights and linking this with what is technically feasible. Interested in developing appropriate business models and product exploitation in the broadest sense. In addition, I have a true passion for people and organizational development ranging from 1:1 coaching and talent development to larger audience classroom based trainings.
