"I have over 25 years of business experience in the Oil & Gas, and (petro) chemical industries in both technical and commercial roles at Shell, Dow and DSM. Since 2008 I have lead several product and business innovation platforms."

"I have gained a reputation as an industry expert in the field of crystallization and solid-liquid separation methods and led the group at TNO that was in charge of the technical development of the Hydraulic Wash Column (HWC). I was closely involved in most of feasibility studies, pilot scale testing programs and client projects of the HWC."
