She has consistently championed collaboration between industry, research, and government, playing an important role in strengthening Catalisti’s position during key transition phases.

The Catalisti team has greatly appreciated her strategic insight and supportive approach. Her active involvement has been invaluable. She will be missed as a trusted member of our board. 

“From my very first days at Catalisti, I felt Ann’s unwavering support,” says Tine Schaerlaekens, Catalisti’s managing director. “Her constructive guidance, deep industry knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm for innovation were a real source of motivation — for me personally and for our entire team. We wish her every success in her new role at Fevia.”
