About me Lucie Pařenicová, Ph.D.

As a white biotechnology expert I am able to scientifically contribute to and lead an innovation project from idea scouting to prototype development. I offer background knowledge, hands-on experience in a number of biotechnological disciplines, and people management skills to lead a cross-disciplinary scientific team.

Before starting my own company in 2017, I worked for over 20 years in the field of biotechnology.  I hold a MSc. from the Comenius University of Bratislava, Slovakia and a Ph.D. from the Wageningen University in the Netherlands. I have then performed Postdoctoral studies at the University of Milan, Italy, and at DSM, Delft, The Netherlands.

The last 14 years I have been working in the DSM Biotechnology Centre in Delft in various R&D functions - among which a Senior and a Lead Scientist Fruit & Beverages and a Biochemical Application Expert Savory. In the last years I fulfilled also the people management function of a Group Lead. I have developed into a biotechnology expert with a cross-disciplinary expertise with a proven ability to lead a project to a successful end. I am sole and co-inventor of number of patents that are the basis of very significant highly profitable turnover. As a people manager I can create a "Yes we can” attitude in the team, connect to the inter- and external world and motivate a team to perform best.
