Laura Leonard never envisioned herself as a future engineer growing up in Wisconsin. Like many kids, with the innovative teaching of a great high school science teacher and the support of her parents to pursue her new interests, Laura enrolled in the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a Chemical engineering major and never looked back.
As Americans, we often consider global corporations whose business centers on energy and chemicals as a huge part of the problem of climate change. With Laura’s work at Worley as the Group President for Technology Solutions, she is flipping that narrative on its head. With 38 U.S. patents to her name,
Laura is using her fascinating 20-years of experience in energy and petrochemical research to be a leader in reversing the devastating climate and environmental concerns our planet faces today through solutions like carbon capture and storage…amongst many others.
Laura’s practical explanations left us feeling confident that the problems we see on the news every night are being tackled by individuals with passion, grace, and an extraordinary intelligence to make our planet a healthy and sustainable world for thousands of generations to come. We are confident that after listening to Laura, you will want to join forces to being a bigger part of the solution as well!
