Judy on Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Judy Giordan on Vimeo.

Judy discusses some of the challenges she had to overcome throughout her career - from being rejected from graduate schools because she didn't have enough of a chemistry background (despite graduating third in her class), to her experiences as a woman in a traditionally male dominated company.

Judy then goes briefly into her vision of the big issues facing the chemical industry in the future.

Finally, Judy explains her focus on helping university entrepreneurs - both students and faculty - translate their research into innovations that can help the planet and help those who do not have a voice. Judy is a senior advisor to the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) and the Chair of the Advisory Board for the VentureWell program. She is a professor of practice at the University of Southern Mississippi, and serves as an advisor to many start-up companies.
