CEO W. Stavropoulos A product of Dow Chemicals

Even if you don't know or have never heard the first thing about Dow Chemical, even if you don't know that the company does $24 billion in sales, and even if you don't know that the Dow corporation has been around for one hundred years, it is entirely possible that you have at least one of their over 2,400 products in your kitchen cabinet, underneath your sink, or in your laundry room. The company keeps their hands …

…and with extreme diversity. Stavropoulos accepts and embraces change and teaches others to do the same. Much of Dow's success lies on the shoulders of this man and the teamwork he built.
