Responsible for the R&D direction and business strategy of R&D teams across 4 imec locations (Wageningen (The Netherlands), Eindhoven (the Netherlands), Leuven (Belgium) and Gent (Belgium)). Track record of 20+ years of initiating, executing and leading national and international contract R&D with worldwide customers. I believe preventive health, personalised nutrition, sustainable food production and reduced waste are essential enablers of improving our world for the generations to come. And I think technology (hardware and AI) are key tools to make that happen.
