Conversations About Leadership With Women In The Chemical And Steel Industries
SAP News, February 10th, 2023
Full disclosure, when I walked into the Women in Industry luncheon at the SAP International Conference for Chemicals, Mining, and Metals in Madrid, Spain, the last thing I expected to experience was an overwhelming sense of uplifting camaraderie.
Sitting amidst about 50 women and a handful of men, we talked about the hard truths and incredible opportunities for women in the chemical and steel industries.
The event was moderated by Monica Gassmann, a chapter lead for the Business Women's Network (BWN) from SAP and sustainability program lead for SAP's Discrete and Energy and Natural Resources Industries. On the panel were Marjan Olthof, head of Customer Services at Tata Steel, and Mari Pulkkinen, director of SAP and M&A Center of Excellence at LyondellBasell.
