Hans de Nobel studied Biology at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and received his PhD in 1991. After six years of fundamental research at the University of Vermont (USA), Hans returned to Amsterdam to apply his expertise at the UvA in close collaboration with Unilever. In 2000 Hans switched from academia to join Genencor International BV in Leiden which was acquired sequentially by Danisco, DuPont/DOW and eventually IFF. Currently Hans is as Chief Scientist responsible for the product innovation pipeline for the industrial application of enzymes, microbes and polysaccharides. His team of over 200 scientists in the USA, Denmark, China and the Netherlands develops new products that significantly contribute to sustainable solutions for everyday challenges. New Product Sales resulting from these efforts contribute annually to over 30% of global revenues for the supported businesses. Hans is also managing director for fourteen legal entities of IFF in the Netherlands, and recently developed a new research/office facility for IFF in the Leiden Bioscience Park.
