Christina Schwab
Outside of work, Christina loves to spend time with her family and travel to new places.

I’m fascinated by the innovative ways that startups transform their breakthrough ideas into science-based solutions. Being there at the right time to speed up time-to-market, match the team to our network of DSM experts, and finally see the product on the shelves - those are my favorite parts!
