Women Who Lead: A conversation with Lubrizol President and CEO Rebecca Liebert

Описание: You probably know the name "Lubrizol" as a company. It's even more likely you have at least one of the products developed by the northeast Ohio company's scientific research. Its products are available worldwide, and the woman at the helm of Lubrizol's global innovation recently shared her story with Maureen Kyle.

"Chemistry and chemical engineering and engineering came to me very early on."

Liebert is the original STEM girl.

"I grew up on a farm in eastern Kentucky where we did engineering every single day," Liebert said as we spoke with her at the company's headquarters in Wickliffe.

Without realizing it at the time, she was immersed in science and chemistry day in and day out.

"Whether it was civil engineering while we were plowing the fields or mechanical engineering while we were fixing the equipment, electrical engineering wiring fences to keep animals in, biomedical engineering taking care of the animals and chemical engineering while we were mixing pesticides and fertilizers to go on the crops. Chemistry and chemical engineering is aligned with a lot of things that I did with my grandma -- like pickling, you know making pickles and fermenting and cooking. All of that at its basic essence is chemistry."
