Italy Local Section Secretary

My name is Chiara Cappelletti and I have a Master Degree in Industrial Chemistry and I’ve been a member of The Royal Society of Chemistry for 4 years. In particular, I have a specialization in Polymer synthesis and characterization 

After my graduation, I started working in British Petroleum as Technical Advisor supporting the sales department and during this experience I spent my free time doing an Executive Master in Management and Leadership at Il Sole 24 Ore Business School in Milan.

After two years I moved to BP UK near London to work as Development Technologist/formulator for the lubricants industry. In this role I managed different development projects from conception to testing and scale up, working with the Marketing, Supply chain and Procurement teams to satisfy specific needs in terms of costing/performance/quality/legislative requirements. 

In 2012 I decided to move back to Italy in Tuscany as R&D and REACH manager in a small chemical company: in this role I organized and executed R&D activities about innovative synthesis of chlorinated products. As REACH manager I was responsible for registering and update all the product dossiers and I was the account for every communication between the company and ECHA.

In all of these different experiences I learned different skill and behaviors from all my colleagues and I got in touch with people from all over the world. In particular, I can say that I love working in team and interacting with other people cooperating among different functions.

Currently I’m working as Project Manager at Clariant Italy, in particular catalyst development.
