Senior Product Manager

At Xaar we develop world-leading piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet technologies.

An experienced influencer, Product Manager and Marketing Manager with a history of positions on senior leadership teams, predominantly at industrial B2B SMEs. A high degree of success in new product introduction and developing & leading Product Management and Marketing functions. A strong skill set in strategic business planning and continuous improvement. My added value comes from a balanced technical and commercial approach. I started my career in R&D with a strong education in scientific research. I have strived to keep my technical competence and knowledge current and I work hard to build a high level of knowledge on products and markets with good adaptability to new technologies and sectors. My commercial and strategic experience stems from positions in commercial teams, on leadership teams, business unit management experience as well as senior Product Management and Marketing roles. This pairing of technical and commercial skills enables me to effectively bridge these two areas of business for a collaborative approach to market, product and customer-led strategic planning. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching Formula 1, studying astronomy and jogging.
