In celebration of International Women’s Day, we are highlighting a few of the women making an impact at Cray Valley. This day provides an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the vital contributions of women in chemistry.
Meet Megan Casey, our technical business development manager in the United States! In her role, Megan supports the sales team by promoting the benefits of Cray Valley products across applications. She also investigates new market trends and application areas, extending the use of products. She enjoys the changing nature of her job. “I like learning new things,” she said. “I work with so many applications, from rubber and electronics to adhesives and coatings. It’s fascinating!”
Megan’s career began with her love for chemistry and math, which led her to study chemical engineering in college. After graduating and working as a plant engineer, she transitioned to her current role at Cray Valley, which blends application development, customer support and business development. Continuous learning has defined her path, and she finds it rewarding to have a direct impact on the business.
Although being one of the only women in the room can be intimidating, Megan’s expertise gives her the confidence to propose new solutions and explore emerging markets. She views International Women’s Day as an opportunity to challenge gender bias and encourage women to enter science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. “If you like science and math but avoid them because they are not jobs traditionally held by women … please push forward!” she said. “The industry is continuing to grow more inclusive.”
