About

With a passion for people and technology, I lead, coach and support teams to innovate and improve products, manufacturing processes, workflows, and business processes. My environment profits from a unique perspective based on broad and hands-on experience in technology and science paired with applied management know-how. Based on my experience in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.A. I build bridges between cultures and across organisational barriers.
