Industry Affiliations

I had the privilege of working with and providing services to many industrial and professional entities over the years. Some of these affiliations continue today and I enjoy exchanging ideas with colleagues, individuals with similar concerns or interests, policy makers and executives who are change agents in various areas of industry and science. 

​

These affiliations allow me to stay sharp and keep my knowledge relevant and up to date. It is also a source of inspiration and exchanging ideas.
