My strengths comprise of project evaluation, analysis and research as well as academic or technical writing. I give context to business or scientific ideas and translate data and publications into knowledge that can be understood by the client. Critical thinking, strong analytical skills, the ability to simplify complex data and writing skills are some of the traits for successful projects. I obtained a PhD in chemistry and have 10+ years experience in catalysis in both the academic and the industrial environment with a total of 13 publications.

I help organizations turn complex ideas, data and processes into products and systems that actually work, by blending business analysis, business intelligence, product management, and project delivery. So you can move faster, operate smarter, and deliver real value to their customers. My approach is simple. I start with understanding the current state, work closely with stakeholders to define the right problem, design solutions that fit the strategy, and then stay hands-on through delivery. I make sure things it gets built, tested, and adopted. I don’t just hand over a recommendation. I help bridge the gap between business and technical teams, keep momentum when things get stuck, and make sure the end result delivers value. I care about building things that work and last.
