Molly Zhang

Business Vice President of Technology, Licensing and Catalyst Business; Global Business Manufacturing and Engineering Director for Asia Pacific (Shanghai, China)

Molly's broad global experience over 18 years at Dow has helped her find her way back home. A native of Shanghai, China, Molly studied in Germany and joined Dow there as an engineer. Since then, she has run Dow plants in the United States and in Thailand. Now, she's back in Shanghai growing Dow's presence in China and markets around the world.

Molly cites Dow's environment that encourages results and achievement as an enabler to her success. The fact that there were few women engineers when she began her career did not hinder her development. As she continued to deliver measurable results, she was able to take advantage of opportunities to advance her own development.

Now, as a site leader in her home town, Molly is building bridges between Dow and China. She works with a local university to demonstrate how Dow can help China's growth. She is also looking to hire talented employees to contribute to Dow's success. While competition for qualified talent is fierce, Dow's reputation as a great place to work is often a deciding factor for candidates weighing multiple offers. Another deciding factor is Molly. She is the embodiment of opportunity and advancement for many prospective employees. Because of her success, Molly represents the promise that they too can flourish at Dow.
