En résumé

I have > 20 years experience as R&D MANAGER (trilingual) with successful delivery on scientific, manufacturing, quality and organization related challenges in the area of food/dairy R&D at international level. This has been possible by efficiently forming a "1 team spirit" across expert teams from different competence areas via appropriate use of Leading, Coaching & Motivation and making best use of synergies of strengths.

"People are the most valuable asset" is the key leitmotiv that I practice and live day to day in
order to add value to my company in a sustainable way.
