Flemming Høstgaard

Senior Commercial Executive – Chemical Industry

With over 30 years in the chemical industry, I bring a wealth of expertise from global and regional leadership roles across B2B sales, marketing, and management in major multinational R&D-driven companies. I’ve led as Nordic CEO, North European Sales Director, and Head of Global & Regional Key Accounts, consistently delivering top- and bottom-line growth. My commercial focus spans sectors like plastics, agriculture, and specialty chemicals, managing portfolios in polymer films, crop protection products, and specialty chemicals for industries including coatings, home care, and personal care.

In my latest role as Nordic Head of Sales, I managed a diverse portfolio, driving growth and optimizing sales channels across specialty chemical segments. I’ve successfully executed transformational change, optimized processes, and managed cross-border teams, leveraging key skills in leadership, communication, and resilience to exceed commercial targets.

I’m passionate about customer-centricity, fostering collaborative partnerships, and developing strong, sustainable networks internally and externally. My commitment to excellence has been pivotal in projects like building unified sales teams, implementing CRM systems, and deploying effective pricing strategies.

I thrive in roles that combine strategic leadership with hands-on management, tackling challenges, streamlining processes, and consistently exceeding expectations through decisive, solution-oriented approaches. My values center on accountability, open communication, and inclusivity, creating high-performing teams and driving sustainable results.
