In this year’s focus on Women in Packaging, we share several inspirational stories – stories that might just encourage other women to pursue a career in packaging.
One involves a woman who started her career in packaging at the front desk as a receptionist and then eventually climbed the ranks to Director of Sales Operations.
Another story involves a woman in Brazil who started her career with Dow as a chemical engineer. Still with the company 25 years later, she now plays a key role in global marketing and circular & renewable solutions.
This year’s featured packaging professionals also offer their thoughts on how to get young women and girls interested and excited about a career in packaging.
In the words of Juliane Hefel, PPG general manager, Specialty Coatings and Materials: “To a young person, packaging may not sound interesting. But as professionals, we know that it is a very sexy industry. Think brand recognition, product security and more. From sleek and eye-catching designs, to making a positive impact on the environment through waste reduction, reduced carbon emissions and recyclability, the opportunity for an interesting and challenging career in packaging is endless.”
