Introducing Gerrie

With a background in law and a degree in chemistry, I found my passion in intellectual property. I joined EP&C in 2022 after 25 years of experience at DSM. My expertise spans the full spectrum of chemistry, from pharmaceutical ingredients to polymer coatings and chemical process technology.

I excel at seeing the big picture while paying close attention to detail—qualities that are essential in patent applications and contracts. I enjoy explaining IP protection and strategies in clear language, helping clients achieve and maintain success, which keeps me energized in my work.

One of my strengths is that I'm able to explain what you need for proper protection in plain language.
