About Mr. Robert Peels:
Based on the revolutionary modeling ideas that he developed while working as strategy director for Royal DSM, a Dutch chemical multinational with 10 B$ turnover, Robert Peels started Flostock, a consultancy specialized in volatility, in 2011. Flostock is now providing stock & flow analyses for many volatile industries, including petrochemicals, oil, food, agriculture, housing, and semiconductors. Robert has presented his novel insights at numerous conferences and published about it in many journals and magazines; His 2015 article in the International Journal of Production Economics (together with the Technical University of Eindhoven) was made open-access by Elsevier in April of this year because of its relevance in fighting the corona crisis. A 2013 overview article by McKinsey about the credit crisis in Supply Chain Magazine, prominently quoting Robert’s 2009 article as an exemplary approach of the crisis, is part of a rare reprint in the current May/June 2020 issue. Robert works and lives mostly in the Netherlands.
