Congratulations Stephanie!
Over the past five years Stephanie has led a broad range of projects, working with internal and external stakeholders to transform the company from the inside.
Stephanie’s nomination highlighted her collaborative work spanning research and innovation, circular economy and waste management, political engagement, promoting women in STEM and her cross-sectoral work on the decarbonisation roadmap to 2050 and more recently on plastic packaging.
Through the 30 under 30 community, Stephanie will exchange ideas with sustainability professionals beyond manufacturing and construction, aiming to accelerate positive change within Wienerberger.
On receiving news of the successful nomination, Stephanie commented “Inclusion on this list is testament to the breadth of development opportunities available at Wienerberger, as I have been able to gain a wide range of experience in a relatively short timeframe. It’s essential to be proactive: ask to be involved in projects that interest you (or propose them if they don’t already exist!) and make use of the company’s learning and development programme to supplement your technical expertise. Sharing your aspirations with your colleagues and/or line manager is a great place to start.”
