Wilfred Poppinga

My personal passions revolve around improving life and health. I have contributed to this mission as a scientist and educator, leading and setting up collaborative structures in healthcare-related environments. This includes transitioning organizations to third parties and establishing new organizations from the ground up.

I bring leadership and strategic thinking to projects and teams, with a strong analytical approach. My deep knowledge in diagnostics, pharmacology, and biotechnology, combined with my ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and effectively, ensures excellence and reliability in all my endeavors.

Looking ahead, I aim to continue playing a role in innovative development. My core strengths in syntopical thinking, creative problem-solving, and proactive interpersonal skills drive me to strive for excellence and reliability. I am committed to ensuring the quality of my work and that of those around me.

I am open to opportunities as a team lead, change manager, or improvement manager. I am also interested in roles related to innovation that require my skills in managing complex environments.
