Hello
A Bit About Me
Business Manager with 12 years of experience in the chemical industry, leading commercial growth, P&L management and strategic business development across Europe. Responsible for a business portfolio and an international team of Product Managers and Account Managers.
Proven track record of accelerating profitable growth through supplier development, pricing strategy, portfolio optimization, market expansion and executive customer relationships.
Recognized for combining deep technical expertise in coatings and construction chemicals with strong commercial leadership, driving profitable growth through supplier development, portfolio optimization and market expansion across Europe.
From Technical Expertise to Business Leadership
My professional journey began in research and development laboratories, where I worked in the formulation, development, and industrialization of epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, and protective coating systems. These experiences allowed me to build a deep understanding of raw materials, formulation technologies, manufacturing processes, and application performance.
Over time, I transitioned into commercial and business management roles, leveraging my technical background to create value for customers, suppliers, and distribution partners. This evolution enabled me to develop expertise in business development, product management, strategic sourcing, supplier partnerships, pricing, and portfolio growth across European markets.
Today, I operate as a Business Manager within the chemical distribution industry, combining technical competence with commercial vision. My unique strength lies in understanding the needs of R&D, production, procurement, and executive management simultaneously, allowing me to bridge the gap between innovation and business success.
