As Biotech professional with a unique blend of technical mastery (M.Sc. Bioscience Engineering) and business strategy (Vlerick MBA), I have a proven track record of driving technology adoption through strategic licensing and external innovation. Previously at Quantoom Biosciences and Univercells, I focused on building the bridges between in-house R&D and global market partners. My background spans strategy consulting and water tech, giving me a broad perspective on solving complex industrial challenges.
