“Theo reported to me from 2015 to 2018 as Project and Construction Manager on a USD 100 million project to build a new bioplastics plant in Rayong, Thailand. He delivered the project within budget constraints, brought product to market on time, and achieved an excellent safety record: more than 2 million construction hours without a lost-time accident.The project was complex, involving licensed-in technology, in-house developed technology and equipment, the formation of a joint venture during execution, as well as both a revamp and a pilot facility. Theo built and managed the team responsible for this performance. With a gentle but firm approach, he kept the project on track and demonstrated strong professional and commercial skills with vendors and contractors.I would recommend Theo to anyone with a project of similar complexity and would hire him again.” __ Ruud Reichert, Former direct Manager, Bioplastic Project, Rayong, Thailand
