Since starting Experien in 2001, he has been directly involved in managing and providing technical support for a broad range of industrial hygiene and product stewardship activities including new substance notifications in the U.S. and Canada and completing registration dossiers for several hundred chemical substances within the scope Europe’s REACH regulation. In the lead-up to the 2010 REACH registration deadline, John was instrumental in the preparation of lead registrant dossiers for a number of high-profile substances on behalf of some of the largest chemical companies in the world. In addition, John has been directly involved in the preparation of regulatory compliance and product risk assessments on behalf of global chemical manufacturers who are interested in ensuring that any risks associated with their product portfolios are identified, reduced where possible, and properly managed.

During the span of his career, John has consulted on hundreds of projects for industrial clients and government agencies, including the U.S. EPA, DOE, DOD, and Army Corps of Engineers.
