After finishing my studies in Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg and my PhD in the field of High Pressure Fluid Phase Equilibria I have worked as a Postdoc in the field of Biotechnology at the University of California, Berkeley. When I had completed this work I returned to Germany and continued my professional career in the chemical industry with Hüls and Degussa. Parallel to my jobs in technical development and Inhouse consultant services I broadened my horizon through an two years Executive MBA program in the Netherlands.

As a true-blue Hamburger I was finally coming home to beautiful Hamburg in 2001. At KRÜSS I was given a warm welcome. Now I am Managing Director for the key areas Development, Marketing&Sales, Service, Quality Management and Technical Documentation.

KRÜSS has fascinated me from the very first moment. Here people work with enthusiasm devotion and highest striving for quality in order to come up with solutions for our customers' tasks every day anew. And KRÜSS is developing rapidly as a company as well. Our innovations, our focus in customer intimacy and the superb quality of our products and services are living proof of this.
