Did you know that in 1825, none other than Jules Verne predicted that one day we would use water as a fuel? 

In this podcast, we learn from Dr. Ilham Kadri, the CEO of multi-billion dollar global chemicals company Solvay. Guiding Solvay through its sustainability transition, she experiences the growing role of hydrogen in our decarbonized world first-hand. While Solvay is technology and use-case agnostic, its materials advance the industry across the entire value chain.  Don't miss Ilham's golden nuggets of wisdom at the end of the podcast (19:30)

  • If an ambition doesn't scare you, it's not ambitious enough
  • Never waste a good crisis - take the opportunity to emerge stronger
  • IQ is a commodity, EQ is what will make the difference
  • Invite diversity to the dance and dance with it
