Packaging Engineer specialising in Polymer Science and Product Circularity, with 8+ years of R&D leadership at Procter & Gamble. Based in APAC, I align companies supply chain and innovation pipelines with sustainability regulations and corporate ESG commitments. My management is data-driven, consumer centered and technically peered reviewed. Across roles, functions and working cultures, I have been recognised for excellent communication skills, and the ability to translate complex topics into business ready material for C-suite or external partners. Let's connect if you need a partner for: 1. Packaging Industrialisation: End-to-end ownership of high-volume packaging formats (rigids and flexibles). Expert in material selection, supplier coordination, and Quality & Food Safety compliance within FMCG manufacturing environments. 2. Design for Circularity: Proven track record in PCR integration, recyclability claims, and refill and reuse system pilots. I align technical innovation with EPR schemes and regulatory requirements to ensure market-ready solutions. 3. Data Systems: I transform technical and consumer data into predictive models. At P&G, I pioneered a PLM/SAP digital infrastructure for EPR reporting enabling €800k in annual savings, and developed consumer acceptance models supporting data-driven decision-making at a global scale. 4. Consumer Research & Validation: Experienced in qualitative and quantitative consumer research, integrating consumer insight to de-risk innovation and ensure circular packaging solutions drive real-world adoption. I am posting bi-weekly plastic and circularity market updates on LinkedIn, feel free to react and comment. My current focus is: · Participating LCA-reduction driven initiatives for FMCG or F&B in APAC. · Support the qualification of new materials that optimise Design-for-Recycling and LCA. · Advise companies with compliance readiness (EPR, PPWR, REACH, Digital Passports...).
