✨ A new chapter at BYK Since January, I've taken on the role of Head of Indirect Procurement Europe at BYK Additives, building a truly European indirect procurement function across our German and Dutch sites and contributing to cross-divisional procurement within the ALTANA Group. To everyone who has shaped this path with me: thank you. 🙏 Leaders who challenged me, peers who collaborated openly, teams who delivered when it mattered. The compass stays the same: → Processes that work. Practical, lean, built around reality. → Leadership that motivates. Clarity paired with space to grow. → Trust. Empowerment. Appreciation. Openness. To my team: we've already built something together, and I'm looking forward to everything still ahead. To our partners and suppliers: I'm looking forward to working with you, openly, ambitiously, and with the long term in mind. 🌍
