As VP of Global Commercial Processes & EMEA Catalysts at Evonik, I lead a team of professionals who develop solutions that enable customers to realize their potential. With more than ten years of experience leading sales and customer service teams, I have a proven track record of delivering value to customers and partners, optimizing commercial processes for efficiency and customer focus, and finding business opportunities for sustainable growth. My core competencies include global management, change management and cultural change. My passion is to inspire people for new things, to engage with the team, to open closed doors for others and to develop people to their best performance. My mission is to enable innovation, product improvement and effective project management for Evonik and its stakeholders. I love my family, networking, rowing and running.

Evonik is one of the world’s leading specialty chemicals companies. While we don’t produce electric cars, aircraft, medications or 3D printers, Evonik is part and parcel of these and many other end products. That’s because we contribute the small things that make a big difference. We make electric car batteries perform better, aircraft greener, medications more effective and 3D printers more efficient. In short: We think beyond the bounds of chemistry to make the world a better place. Today and tomorrow. We are an international group with a workforce of over 32,000 people spread across more than one hundred locations.
