Background

About Oleksandr Shyshov

PhD chemist with solid experience in R&D and product development, focused on high-performance materials for the automotive industry. I specialize in epoxy, polyurethane, and silane-modified (SMP) adhesives, and I've led innovations that directly impacted performance, sustainability and cost-efficiency. At Henkel, I led the development and commercialization of a novel polymer additive that significantly boosted epoxy adhesive performance and became a cornerstone of our product line - saving costs and driving competitive advantage. I am passionate about bridging chemistry and application: collaborating with global, cross-functional teams, working directly with OEMs, and mentoring junior chemists. I bring a hands-on, solution-focused mindset and thrive in dynamic R&D environments where innovation and performance matter.
