In my current job, I am responsible of the final implementation of R&D solutions in the European polystyrene plants (5 locations in 5 countries) and of the technical support of those plants. I also take part in the global teams focused on rubbers and on the other raw materials used in the polystyrene production process. Those two multifunctional teams look at ways to improve the position of the company as regards purchasing, supply chain and research and development issues on the global scale.
I am a French expatriate now living in Belgium and working in the Netherlands and plan to continue my career abroad. To be efficiently integrated in new cultures, I like to learn the language of the country where I'm living.
On top of my mother tongue (French) and English (fluent), I have a conversational level in Dutch. I also have an average level in German and have some knowledge of Japanese.
