It was only when Margherita Fontana left ETH Zurich that she realised she had been given a unique value proposition that she could take with her into the corporate world.
Our 6th episode is all about ETH alumna and chemist Margherita Fontana from Dow Chemicals. A scientist at heart, she discusses with host Susan Kish how resilience comes from learning how to cope with uncertainty and how she came to drive change because she didn’t feel included. An advocate for women in STEM, she explains how ETH prepared her for the challenges she would encounter later in her career by providing her with the foundations for dealing with complexity and problem-solving.
This is her story.
