Skills

The management of a business and product development in the field of life sciences and (food) diagnostics have been a major part of my tasks over the past 30 years.
The support in ‘management of change’ and ‘turn around management’ are issues that are in line with my personality. I like to handle problems and changes as challenges, while I have a good reputation in organizing, also in sensitive issues with a lot of stakeholders.
My strength and experience are in general management focused on sales and marketing.
A more operational function i.e. in logistics might be of interest as well.
