About Matthew Elchert
I\'m a chemical engineer who possesses a high degree of personal breadth and perspective - gained through various manufacturing leadership and commercial roles. I understand the attention to detail required to successfully manage capital projects and am accepting of the ambiguity required to initiate and lead a scenario planning team with a 20-year outlook.I\'ve developed a high degree of perseverance growing up on a Midwestern dairy farm and this significantly influences my leadership & management style. I am very successful at building trust and rapport by finding commonality. I believe successful leaders are, first and foremost, servants.I possess experience in the following technologies / operations: chlor-alkali and vinyl chloride (VCM) production, chemical plant utilities operation, groundwater remediation system operation, and styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) emulsion polymerization. I\'ve held roles in process engineering, maintenance / reliability engineering, project engineering, and production supervision.I’m also highly experienced in probabilistic modeling, mergers & acquisition execution, business strategy development, and building science / building envelope construction.I enjoy time spent with family and the sense of accomplishment gained through home improvement & gardening.
