Industrial Chemist | PhD Candidate | Business Development Manager | High-Performance Polymers I'm a technically grounded commercial professional with 4+ years of experience spanning R&D, product management, and business development in the polymer industry. My career has been defined by one consistent thread: translating deep material science into tangible business outcomes. My technical foundation was built in R&D, where I worked on Double Metal Cyanide (DMC) catalysts for polyether polyol synthesis — developing a hands-on understanding of catalysis, synthesis, and process chemistry that still shapes how I approach commercial problems today. From there, I moved into the commercial world at Biesterfeld, progressing from Product Manager to Business Development Manager with a portfolio spanning high-performance polymers including PSU, PESU, PPSU, PPS, PEEK, PAI, and PI. My focus sits at the intersection of advanced materials and demanding applications — particularly Fluid Management in Oil and Gas, where material selection is safety-critical and supplier credibility matters enormously. What sets me apart is the ability to operate fluently across the technical and commercial divide — holding a detailed conversation with an R&D engineer in the morning and presenting a business case to a procurement team in the afternoon. I understand how materials behave, how markets develop, and how to build the kind of trust that turns a supplier relationship into a preferred partner. Open to roles and collaborations at the frontier of advanced materials, strategic business development, and application innovation.
