Hy! I am Stefan,
a results-oriented, environmental, health, safety and quality manager with many years of experience in the development, evaluation, management and execution of internationally successful EHSQ programs within the chemical industry. I have a strong ability to lead international teams as well as to optimize complex processes to organizations that can be described as "lean". My motto is: Transparency and efficiency in all processes, complexity destroys the team spirit as well as the organization behind it.
