无忧视频 alumna Jennifer Holmgren 鈥�81 is featured in an International Women鈥檚 Week story in BioSpectrum, a business magazine covering India鈥檚 biotech industry.
In the article, Holmgren shares why she left a vice-president position with UOP to become the CEO of New Zealand-based LanzaTech, which develops low-carbon fuel technologies from industrial waste.
鈥淢y interest in commercializing LanzaTech’s technology goes further than a significant business opportunity,鈥� says Holmgren. 鈥淭oo many developing countries lack meaningful supplies of energy. Our option to take waste gases and produce renewable fuel or power will help democratize energy supplies, providing a way for millions of people to decrease their reliance on imported sources of fuels and energy, and enabling a greater number of people to access a previously unobtainable standard of living.鈥�
She also credits the people and forces that helped guide her path.
鈥淭hroughout my career and my education I have been fortunate to have professors, managers and peers who have pushed me to be the best I can be. I have also been blessed with a naturally positive outlook鈥擨 tend to see the potential for good outcomes rather than the risks associated with failure.鈥�
