Michele Whyle is Director of Global Sustainability at 3M, widely considered one of the world’s most innovative companies. Its portfolio of 55,000 products includes the Post-it Notes on your desk, the ACE bandages in your medicine cabinet, and many less-visible industrial applications to improve lighting, transportation and power transmission.
Fresh off 3M’s “The Big Picture” exhibition at South by Southwest (SXSW), Michele spoke with Ashoka’s Dan Schiff to talk about the company’s role in innovating through empathy, partnerships for a better world and encouraging more young women to pursue scientific careers.
