Throughout the years I know Kars-Michiel from various European cooperation projects that he was leading and also from dedicated Taskforces. He is a strong Open Innovation driver. He can be trusted to represent the company externally and to set up & coordinate international, interdisciplinary cooperations; he is strong in stakeholder management. He is an innovator, who always keeps an eye on external developments and quickly scouts & evaluates their consequences/opportunities for the company. He has shown to be able to quickly master new technology fields and bring new ideas into blossom. Kars-Michiel is a reliable, very motivated and trustworthy person!

Kars-Michiel is an outstanding researcher with abundant knowledge on lighting and specifically on disinfection technologies. He made tremendous contribution on the launch of UVC luminaries. His customer and business oriented mindset is impressive. He is always well connected and constantly bringing outside in view to support on making sound business and technology strategy. It’s been a very rewarding experience for me to work with Kars-Michiel.
