I help industrial companies transform through innovation—taking ideas from concept to market and from pilot to large-scale implementation. I’ve delivered results for scale-ups, global corporations, and consultancies across digitalisation, energy transition, and sustainability. At Gradyent, I lead the development of Digital Twins that cut emissions, lower costs, and enhance system reliability. At Arup, I managed groundbreaking decarbonisation initiatives, including the integration of Eneco’s first electrification and high-temperature heat storage system into PepsiCo Netherlands’ operations—a national first blending engineering innovation with complex stakeholder management. At Emerson, I led strategic technology introductions, turning advanced automation and energy solutions into measurable business impact. I bridge technical depth with strategic vision—translating complex engineering into market propositions, leading cross-functional teams, and turning sustainability goals into operational reality. I thrive at the intersection of innovation, strategy, and execution—helping organisations move faster, smarter, and more sustainably into the future.
