I am a versatile experienced Paint-Chemist with more than 16 years of professional experience in the technical, in the commercial, in the strategic Product Management as well as Project Management field. In this time I ever showed my ability to orient myself fast and successful into the new environment. This includes achieving gainful and superior results within a short period of time. I am experienced in negotiations and lead multiple teams prosperous to develop further and to achieve our goals. A central theme in all my business activities is the cooperation with customers and the beneficial socializing of new contacts and broad networks (internally as well as at the customers). Those lead to a broader and more intense interchange between the respective companies and people. This was possible due to the sensible and reasonable combination of specific knowledge as well as the implementation into the business workaday life.
