   BASF

   Jan 2019 — Present

   I am currently the key global and regional technical contact for MWF and Cold Forming, supporting global entities to address formulary, application, manufacturing, and/ raw materials questions in addition to troubleshooting issues. I collaborate with other regions to identify and support new product development projects, by conducting testing, providing technical support, and leading quarterly and bi-annual regional meetings with Segment Leaders to identify new product development opportunities based on market gaps. I am also a steering member for Innovation Projects related to MWFs and Cold Forming. Additionally, I create and support Global R&D budgets for MWF and Cold Forming up to 400K+ and provide global controlling with spreadsheets, outlining FTE distribution per project and monies spent, in addition to recalibrating budgets due to modifications in staff, project, or projected project commencement. I prioritize global and regional projects and develop short and long-term strategy for global MWF and Cold Forming Group, manage all raw materials for North America, and managed a Raw Material Technical Crisis Team to identify offsets, prepare testing requirements, test new chemistry in various products, communicate findings to Procurement, Manufacturing, and Sales, and roll out new product versions.
