“I would like to recognize my team who embody Brenntag’s core #values. I am constantly inspired by their care, collaboration, and trust with one another, going out of their way to support each other and maintaining a positive attitude even during challenging times”, emphasizes Christine Grybos, our next #BrenntagPioneers candidate. As Director of Product Management in North America, Christine and her team focus on building supplier and product share strategies as well as managing and developing supplier relationships. Understanding market conditions, monitoring trends and collaborating closely with other teams within the company are key aspects of her role. From a product management perspective, Christine, who has been with Brenntag and predecessor companies for 32 years, shares three trends in the evolving chemical distribution market: “The significant trends include digitization, sustainability and global sourcing, all of which align with our strategic direction by enhancing market intelligence, fostering product innovation, and optimizing global sourcing to deliver differentiated value to Brenntag, our customers and suppliers.” As a strong believer in living up to corporate values, Christine explains: “To me, Care, Trust, Clarity & Excellence are intertwined. Without them we can’t be successful as individuals, as leaders or as a team. We win together when we support and trust each other, and everyone has clarity on our goals. It sounds simple but it takes work, being intentional about what we do, and collaboration by everyone to build and maintain.” Christine enjoys connecting with people and adds, “In my personal journey with Brenntag, I've cherished the opportunities to learn and grow, expanding my skills, participating in leadership programs, and collaborating with people on a global level.
