Chemquest Group Appoints New Director for the EMEA Region
The ChemQuest Group has appointed Wayne Daniell, Ph.D., as director for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. During a career spanning more than 27 years, Daniell has founded and managed companies that developed nanomaterials and various coatings additives for use in markets such as consumer electronics, renewable energy, and white biotechnology. He will draw on this expertise in support of ChemQuest’s four business pillars: business strategy and transformation, technology development, operational and manufacturing efficiencies, and M&A advisory services.
Daniell co-founded NanoScape AG in 2001 and served as the company’s CEO from 2002 until its acquisition by a top 10 Fortune 500 company in 2015. He then managed the post-acquisition integration, as well as a ten-fold production capacity expansion, before taking on operational responsibility for all production, quality control, and product development activities. Most recently, Daniell served as business development manager for the Chemicals Division of SAES Getters SpA, with responsibility for all business development activities for the newly formed unit and with a focus on the commercialization of functional additives.
