CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Albemarle
Corporation (NYSE: ALB), a leader in the global specialty chemicals
industry, proudly announces that Chile Country Manager,
Ellen Lenny-Pessagno, has been
recognized as one of the "100 Global Inspiring Women in Mining"
(WIM100) by Women in Mining (WIM) U.K. The biennial WIM100
publication celebrates the "above and beyond" contributions of
women to the global mining industry.
Lenny-Pessagno joined Albemarle
in October 2018 as Country Manager in
Chile. In this role,
Lenny-Pessagno represents Albemarle in country, supports the execution
of our corporate strategy, leads government and community
engagement as well as environmental management, and provides
visible leadership on corporate and local compliance. She is a
member of the senior leadership team for the Lithium global
business unit (GBU) and leads sustainability for the GBU. Prior to
joining Albemarle, Lenny-Pessagno
spent 26 years as a career diplomat with postings at U.S. embassies
in Argentina, Mexico, Spain, Chile
and Columbia, helping U.S.
companies export to, and invest in, those markets.
"The mining industry needs more women because companies and
industries with greater diversity are more successful and have more
collaborative and healthy work environments," said Ellen Lenny-Pessagno, Chile Country Manager. "We
are experiencing one of the most challenging times in human
history, and as such, we need to do things differently. Today is
the time for inclusion. Seek out others who are different from you,
listen and learn from them. That way, we can all work together to
contribute to a better society."
The WIM100, which has been awarded since 2013, received a record
