About Daphne Ringley
I’m a technology and R&D portfolio leader who loves turning complex ideas into real, measurable results. For more than 20 years in the chemical industry, I’ve led cross-functional teams to develop new products, streamline processes, and bring innovations to life — all while keeping projects on time, on budget, and aligned with business goals.What drives me most is helping talented people work better together. I’m known for building bridges between teams — engineers, quality experts, commercial leaders, and everyone in between — to create clarity, momentum, and accountability. I thrive in environments where every day brings a new challenge and an opportunity to improve how things get done.Whether I’m facilitating executive-level strategy sessions or walking the production floor, I bring the same energy and curiosity to every conversation. As I like to say: “I’m just as comfortable in stilettos as I am in steel toes.”What I bring to the table:• Proven R&D and program management leadership (global scope)• Product development and Stage Gate process expertise• Strong background in risk management and process improvement• Data-driven decision-making using SAP, Power BI, and ServiceNow• A collaborative, practical approach that connects vision to executionI’m passionate about working with organizations that value innovation, teamwork, and continuous improvement — where technology meets purpose and great ideas become lasting impact.
