I've led complex customer and application projects across EMEA at Eastman, aligning technical, commercial, regulatory and supply-chain requirements in medical packaging.

Across Eastman, DuPont and Buckman, I've translated customer needs into technical and commercial solutions, developed new applications and markets, and managed international customer relationships. I bring 15+ years of B2B experience in technical and science-driven markets.

I'm at my best connecting R&D, technical service, product management, marketing, supply chain and commercial stakeholders to move projects from opportunity assessment to implementation. My background in biochemistry and biotechnology supports a structured, analytical approach to complex industrial applications.
