About

With over three decades of experience in thermoplastic piping for the marine and shipbuilding industry, I lead business development initiatives at Georg Fischer, where I specialize in driving strategic growth and fostering key account relationships. My role involves guiding customers in selecting the most suitable plastic materials for various onboard applications to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize risks. At Georg Fischer, I contribute to the development of tailored solutions aligned with industry standards, including IMO regulations, and provide comprehensive support ranging from material selection to engineering and prefabrication. My mission is to empower clients with the knowledge and resources they need to optimize their operations and address challenges in their piping systems effectively.
