Care, Courage and Collaboration... Mercedes Alonso’s 3 Cs as she goes Between The Lines with Haig. As Executive VP of Renewable Polymers & Chemicals at Neste and pioneering leader in transformation, Mercedes reveals how she began as a medicine student but found her passion deeply rooted in chemistry as a way to contribute to a more sustainable future. Tracing her meteoric rise to global leader in energy transition provides a truly inspirational story as Mercedes reveals what it takes to run a ‘startup’ within a corporate machine.
