A Day in the Life at Brightlands Chemelot with our Head of Operations
We sat down with Marc Eggen, our Head of Operations at Brightlands Chemelot Campus, to talk about his career in chemical engineering, what drew him to innovative plant development, and how he’s helping bring Itero’s industrial demonstration plant to life. With decades of hands-on experience across the globe, most recently on the Chemelot Industrial Park with innovative plants, Marc shares what a typical day looks like, the challenges of building from the ground up, and what excites him most about the path ahead.
