Nicoletta leaves a tremendous legacy with Dow. She has inspired many of us as a leader and sustainability professional. She has been the face of Dow to the sport sustainability community for many years and built Dow’s reputation and strong credibility as the sustainability leader amongst Top Olympic Partner (TOP) sponsors. Proof of her credibility and expertise is the fact that Nicoletta earned a place on the IOC’s Sustainability & Legacy Commission and was awarded Sustainability Champion of the Year (2020) by the Business Intelligence Group.

I had the pleasure to work closely with Chris in his function as Head of Site and Project Management on a number of large projects world-wide. International Contract Engineering requires a rigorous project management approach and sometimes tough decisions need to be made, always under high time pressure. I found Chris to be highly professional and always approachable and insightful in all my dealings with him. I will keep in touch with him and can highly recommend Chris.

“Over the past several years I have gotten to know and work with Nicoletta across several continents and roles. She has the expertise and personal drive to leave this world a better place for the generations to come.

One clear example is with #PullingOurWeight. Through her leadership, we managed to design, build and implement this corporate volunteer program designed to engage employees and customers in a global clean-up initiative designed to help keep plastic waste out of the environment and support the transition to a circular economy that values plastic waste as a resource. It has brought together functions, businesses, geographies and employees to tackle this significant global and local issue. In a little over a year, it became our largest volunteer engagement effort globally for a single cause and provided an opportunity to educate, engage and find solutions.”
