Leap & GrowAbout Elizabeth
- I grew up in Georgetown, South Carolina.
- I went to Clemson University and studied packaging science.
- While in school, I gained experience as an engineered packaging design lab intern.
- After graduating, I started my career as an R&D engineer for global product development at Sonoco, a global packaging company.
- After seven years in research and development, I wanted a career change but didn’t want to change companies, so I joined Sonoco’s recycling business and led our Sonoco Sustainable Solutions team.
- I managed that team for about three years and then moved into a marketing role with Sonoco’s flexible packaging division.
- Less than a year later, I got the opportunity to lead our sustainability organization, which is where I’m at now.
