Bio
Charles Van Heerden
I got to know Dustin very well as LYB acquired SHLM, and he excelled in a seamless integration, with a sensitive understanding of different cultures. He acted with the utmost honesty and integrity, and selected the best people from both companies to build a high performance team. His communication was best in class, with monthly town hall meetings across APAC to ensure all teams worked well towards a common goal. His enthusiasm is infectious and he inspired the team to deliver outstanding results. I see great things for Dustin, as he has a very strategic orientation working across all functions. In short, he is a passionate and inspiring leader that cares about all stakeholders.
