Commercial Manager at BASF PLC who managed a €25–35M European catalyst and adsorbents portfolio and negotiated multi-million-euro contracts.

Switzerland
Message

At BASF PLC, I coordinated a €25–35M annual European portfolio in Chemical Catalysts and Adsorbents, managing planning and execution from prospecting through contract closure.

I negotiated and closed multi-million-euro, multi-year contracts with global multinationals, working with complex commercial terms.

I engaged licensors, EPC contractors, and engineering teams to build new business channels and introduce technologies. I also applied my understanding of sustainability and green technologies to position solutions aimed at improving customers’ process efficiency and environmental performance.

Earlier at BASF PLC, I managed regional and national accounts in fuel and lubricant solutions, then coordinated logistics and sales administration, including order processing and invoicing. I hold a BSc from Keele University, where I graduated with Honours in Chemistry and completed a dissertation on caesium-doped catalysts for converting butane into syngas for solid oxide fuel cells.
