Alexander Bünz

“I do not believe in coincidences. Rather, I very much enjoy watching how life assembles itself like a beautiful puzzle.” It is with this philosophy that Alexander Bünz’s career developed. He became devoted to chromatography during high school, received his PhD on thermodynamic properties of supercritical fluids, and discovered new media for the electrophoretic separation of DNA fragments as a postdoc at UC Berkeley. Alexander then got bitten by the business bug and worked in several positions in the chemical industry before receiving his MBA at the TSM Business School in the Netherlands. In 2007, he became managing director of Knauer, Germany.
