Carol Malnati believes organizations that leverage gender diversity out-perform and out-innovate. It was the 1980’s and few women ventured into the university’s engineering buildings – let alone declare it as a major.

At that point, I wanted to be someone that encouraged young women to get involved in math, science, and engineering.” Today, she’s doing just that.

That’s why today I am sharing this space with two extraordinary women, leadership and diversity expert Carol Seymour and Cargill’s Pilar Cruz.
