Monica Bottura

She was 17 years old when she stepped into the biomedical industry; it was 1996. She had trained as a secretary but decided to do something completely different: “I prefer to work knowing that here, in this company, in this district, we are saving people’s lives,” she says.

And even now, after 31 years working in the biomedical industry, she is as passionate about it as on the first day.
