“Rowan is a globally recognised expert in Mission oriented innovation strategy. She worked with the Royal Society of Chemistry and its cross sectoral industry task force to develop a roadmap for transitioning a fossil reliant polymer industry towards sustainable practices. Within this process she provided thought leadership on using Missions to define this very complex problem, which had not been done previously in his industry. She is an excellent leader and a team player. I absolutely loved working with Rowan Conway. ”
