Having spent over a decade at Spectris, I have developed a strong understanding of our business operations and the Asian market. As the Asia Host FIN team, our goal is to provide businesses we support with finance solutions that are user-friendly, adaptable, and cost-effective.

It's been an exciting period to observe the impressive growth of Spectris Asia.

Outside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga and Pilates, which foster balance, focus, and core strength.

I'm responsible for understanding what the business needs from Digital (IT, Information Systems, AI, Data and beyond) and working-out how to deliver it for maximum impact and minimal cost. So, I work with other teams and departments to set up working groups and virtual teams to get the job done, To date, I've set up the AI Working Group, Intranet Site Editors and the (Virtual) Data Team.

As well as delivering transformation, I lead the IT and IS Teams and together we ensure we have the digital tools we need to get the job done while remaining secure, compliant, and working efficiently.

I've been at Servomex since March 2024 and have implemented new service desk software, an intranet, and introduced MS365 Copilot. In the coming months we'll be making improvements to Salesforce, enabling AI access to files currently on network storage, and preparing for an ERP upgrade.

I enjoy working with my peers at Group, PMS, HBK and MP and look forward to even wider collaborative working in the years ahead.

As Vice President of Marketing and Strategy for the Electronics and Life Sciences business units at Spectris and Particle Measuring Systems, I’m passionate about connecting innovation with purpose. My role is to anticipate global trends, align our portfolio to emerging opportunities, and ensure we deliver solutions that make a real difference for our customers—and ultimately, for the world.

Over the past 18 years in the analytical tools industry, I’ve had the privilege of working across sales, leadership, product management, marketing, and corporate strategy in sectors like Life Sciences, Electronics, Energy & Chemical, Food, and Forensics. These experiences taught me that success isn’t just about technology—it’s about listening deeply to customers, understanding market dynamics, and building strategies that turn insight into impact.

At PMS, we embrace the responsibility of enabling industries whose work touches lives every day. That’s what excites me: knowing that what we do helps our customers achieve breakthroughs that matter. We have the talent, the strategy, and the ambition to lead with agility and foresight—and I’m proud to be part of that journey.

I joined Spectris over 10 year ago as part of the legal team, having previously practiced corporate law in a law firm. My role was to support mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the group.

During my time at Spectris I have been involved in c.50 acquisitions of varying sizes and types and in a range of different jurisdictions. I have also been a part of 7 full divestments. All those projects have presented different challenges but I have been fortunate enough to interact with some amazing people, travel and experience different business cultures. One day I can be dealing with a big corporate selling a division, the next day I may be negotiating with an entrepreneur about acquiring the business which they have founded.

Being involved in large projects means I have had the opportunity to work with a large number of people across the group from a variety of different backgrounds, enabling me to look at M&A transactions form all perspectives. In 2020, Spectris gave me the opportunity to head up a small but very talented M&A team and together with our colleagues across the business we have closed some significant transactions in very challenging circumstances while at the same time making significant improvements to our M&A process.”

I joined Malvern Panalytical in October 2019 following my PhD in Chemistry at the University of Strasbourg. My current role as a Product technical Specialist sees me deliver training and applications support to customers, collaborators, and colleagues on our Mastersizer and Spraytec instruments. I am also involved in marketing activities, including writing application notes and blog posts, presenting in webinars and conferences, and creating video content. All of this adds up to create a very varied role, which has allowed me to broaden my scientific knowledge and further develop my communications skills.

I wanted to build my career in an international environment and in a role that delivers impactful results for people, and this has certainly begun well with Malvern Panalytical. Working with colleagues and partners from across the world means there is something different to get stuck into every day and seeing how customers use our instruments to improve products and processes in a vast range of application areas is very rewarding.

I started my career at Spectris Asia as the internal auditor where I audited core business processes and advised on fraud & ethics-related risks. Over the course of six years, I visited many Spectris Asia offices and OpCos’ headquarters, and had the chance to get to know a lot of colleagues in different OpCos and functional teams. I am impressed with all the people I’ve met are very professional and passionate for work.

After that I joined Spectris China G&A team as the finance manager and supported local business operations for various OpCos where I am able to apply my previous audit experience in the role and work with the team to strengthen the company’s control and compliance processes.

Thereafter, I was given another amazing opportunity to progress and became the Head of Asia Finance & FPA in Servomex. My role is a finance business partner to help achieve the company objectives and deliver our strategy.

Looking back at the more than 10years I have been working in the company, I take pride in working here with the great team who have a real passion for supporting each other and our customers.

I joined HBK in 2017 after a masters program in electrical engineering focused on Electric vehicle propulsion systems. I started in a sales role selling the whole portfolio, which was a great opportunity to learn the whole company, before moving into my role as business development for electrification. I have recently moved form the USA to Japan where I am now the head of business development for Asia where we are starting a team focused on growing our strategic applications.

Business development consists of a lot of internal and external networking which makes it a fun role because every day is a bit different. One day I would be representing HBK at a conference trying to meet new potential customers and the next day I could be conducting internal training to raise our internal knowledge on topics like electrification. Overall my team has 3 main goals: find new business, establish HBK as a thought leader, and feedback on my findings to product management.

I enjoy my role because I am able to meet many of our customers who are working on very cutting edge projects. It is a dream job for someone technical who wants to learn about many different customers and applications. HBK also has many internal experts who I can consult on different industries or applications. Our customers respect the expertise we have and that makes the job fun. Being a global company, HBK also allows me the opportunity to work with colleagues from around the world which is a lot of fun for a guy who grew up on a farm in the middle of America.

I began working at Servomex in 2014 where I started as an assembly technician, assembling components for our analysers. A year later I started a new role as a test technician, testing one of Servomex’s latest products.
Since joining Servomex, I have completed my level 3 and 4 studies in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and in 2020 I began studying for a degree in Engineering and Project Management.

In 2021 I moved into my current position as an Applications Engineer, where I’ve been able to bring my experience over the past 6 years to the team. My current role offers a great deal of variety, such as product support and training for both internal and external customers, new product introduction (NPI) and travel to customer sites.

What I enjoy most about Servomex is working alongside my very talented colleagues and having the opportunities to further my skills and education.

I started at HBK as a Senior Embedded Software Developer in 2013 where I was given the great opportunity to add new functionality to our Test & Measurement portfolio and improve my skillset with state-of-the-art development methodologies. After gaining some knowledge of the internal processes, I was able to play a key role when we started the journey to become more agile in R&D. I really enjoyed that part of the job since it was the first time in my career where I could scale improvements beyond my own tasks as a developer.

During the following years I moved across multiple roles in Embedded Software, Sensor Development and Business Process Excellence. I am currently heading the Center of Excellence Instruments and Sensors where I can bring everything, I learned during my journey within HBK to good use. My team and I are working in an international setup and collaborating with other parts of the organization. We are very proud that we can support HBK keeping the status as a technology leader across different industries. We are continuously improving ourselves, our processes, and our technology to be able to stay ahead of the competition.

HBK provided me with the possibility to grow personally and work in a high-tech environment. As an engineer, I enjoy solving problems and improving things. I like working with experts all around the world. That is what HBK is offering day after day and that is what gives me fulfilment and lets me take on every challenge, that my work presents to me.

At the age of 18 I joined Malvern Panalytical on a four-year Engineering Apprenticeship where I gained experience in our Operations, Process Automated Solutions (PAS), Manufacturing Engineering, Research and Development and Sustaining departments. Simultaneously, I completed a HNC (Higher National Certificate) in Mechanical Engineering which helped me develop the practical and theoretical knowledge that I applied to my day-to-day work.

After completing my apprenticeship, I continued my career with Malvern Panalytical as a Junior Mechanical Engineer. In this role, I designed and tested new products whilst using agile planning and Lean Six Sigma tools. I was also given the opportunity to study a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, further developing my skillset.

Now, I am a Project Engineer in PAS where I manage and plan customer projects which are often bespoke, automated solutions. This includes communicating with Operations, Electronics Engineers, Mechanical Engineers and suppliers, while also liaising with the customers themselves. I thoroughly enjoy working in the PAS department, not only do the projects keep you on your toes with their quick turnover but learning about how our technology is applied is also very interesting. It is a joy working with such an honest, supportive and encouraging team.

I started working for HBK in production engineering as a working student shortly after I passed my bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at Technical University of Darmstadt with honours. Besides studying, I want to gain hands-on experience for my future profession and get direct insight into today’s industry.

My focus at the HBK Darmstadt plant is on the digitalization of the production processes and machinery. By implementing modern digitalization solutions like IIoT, I directly help to improve the efficiency of production processes. Data acquisition, data processing, and data visualization are essential for gaining a deep understanding of internal processes and help to keep the company competitive. Furthermore, it allows producing more eco-friendly and conserving precious resources by supporting energy management.

In my day-to-day work at HBK, around 15 hours per week, I get the opportunity to improve my skills, learn about important topics, directly apply my knowledge from university and challenge myself every day. I am proud to be part of a team that knows about the importance of innovation. To support shaping the future of the company and knowing about the relevance of my work is a great incentive to me.

At the beginning of my mechanical engineering studies, I ventured directly into industry at Hottinger Brüel & Kjær, a Spectris Group company, as a working student at the Darmstadt site. Here I was responsible for the evaluation and analysis of key figures in the production for torque transducer. To develop my skills furthermore, I later moved to the Research and Development department for torque transducer.

During my thesis I got the chance to apply as a Development Engineer and was able to prevail myself in the application process. In the new role, I now have the ambition to make use of the practical and theoretical knowledge I gathered during my working student activity. Also our academy offers a lot of courses to further develop professional knowledge to be able to use this even better for new product developments.

On the day-to-day basis there are new challenges that need to be solved. So every day there is the opportunity to go above and beyond and provide our customers with product enhancements. The early start here at Spectris made it possible for me to develop personally and professionally very quickly. From day one I was able to apply the theory directly in practice and I’m now looking forward to continuing my path for the Spectris Group and to the new challenges that lie ahead.

I joined the MicroCal R&D team (Malvern-Panalytical) in 2019. Since then, I have served as a Development Scientist, working mainly on projects devoted to scouting and developing technologies for drug discovery. My contribution to these projects has been, to a great extent, related to identifying strategies to mitigate sources of uncertainties and error in the technologies we produce in MicroCal.

In 2019, I was given the opportunity to take a course on Design for Six Sigma (DfSS), which has become my latest passion. I currently try to serve my team utilizing the DfSS tools to guide the design of the Next Generation of Calorimeters, centring the improvements on customers’ expectations and needs. I also serve the MicroCal community by identifying parameters that are critical to the quality of our current instruments and developing measurement systems for the characterization of their components.

The R&D work at MicroCal is fascinating and challenging: we are constantly working on a different project, which forces us to continue learning new things and grow scientifically and professionally.
