Katrien Arijs

I have a master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and have over 20 years of experience working in academia, consulting and the non-profit sector. I joined ARCHE Consulting in 2011 and since then, have been working on various REACH projects and several biocidal consortia.

What sets ARCHE apart is its emphasis on innovation and its commitment to excellence. The company's dedication to delivering the best solutions for clients is inspiring. I've had the chance to work on challenging projects that have not only stretched my capabilities but also allowed me to contribute meaningfully to our clients' success. I'm proud to be a part of a company that not only delivers exceptional results but also fosters a culture of integrity, teamwork, and continuous learning.

The environment of trust and collaboration, and the attention to people’s wellbeing. The culture here fosters creativity and teamwork. ARCHE puts people first and invests in its employees, providing opportunities for training and growth while respecting people’s unique skills and strengths. This commitment has really helped me evolve in my role and shape my career at ARCHE.

We have a very diverse team, with professionals from different backgrounds, scientific disciplines, ages, and nationalities. The team's collective expertise in chemical compliance, risk management and circular economy is truly impressive. Everyone’s willingness to share knowledge and mentorship helps people in their professional development.

It’s difficult to choose as ARCHE organizes a lot of fun activities, both within and outside the office. My favorite is our annual teambuilding day although I also enjoy our monthly breakfast gatherings, our bimonthly ‘fries-days’, and our special events like the New Year lunch and Easter brunch. My daughter’s favorite is our dedicated day for employees’ kids.
