What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale sustainable products or ESG initiatives where I can connect chemical innovation, environmental data, commercialization, and cross-functional execution.

I'm building circular economy solutions across chemical R&D, ESG compliance, and commercialization. At Boyner Group, I pioneered the Group's first GHG emission calculation through company-wide Excel pipelines and supported Double Materiality assessment and sustainability reporting.

At Wastespresso, I optimized more than 10 bio-waste plastic formulations, improved manufacturing readiness through on-site testing, and secured 30+ B2B partnerships. I used sales metrics, customer feedback, and carbon reduction reports to refine product strategy.

My chemistry work includes biodegradable cellulose nanofibers from banana-peel biowaste and bioorganic research for cancer imaging applications. I also bring product development, market-entry, pricing, and digital campaign experience through projects with Pladis, Henkel, Nestlé, Farmever, and Derimod.
