Biography

Jessica Rossi is a mechanical engineer and works in research and development at Siropack Italia Srl, which designs and manufactures highly innovative systems for the world’s leading packaging manufacturers. Within the company’s mission, focused on the development of increasingly sustainable solutions-for the environment, machine users, its employees, end consumers and the community-Jessica’s work consists of researching, analyzing and evaluating different proposals on the basis of the environmental and social impact they may determine, in order to meet today’s needs without compromising the possibility of decent living for future generations.

Thanks to the skills she acquired during her Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering, Jessica has learned how to approach the “problem,” which is the basis of the projects she deals with, starting from data and trying to consider different points of view, especially the less conventional ones, often making connections between issues that may seem very different from each other.

Her engineering education certainly brought all the knowledge needed to cover the environmental part, while motherhood took care of the social part. In fact, since becoming a mother, Jessica has discovered a very strong vocation for this second part, which guides her in her profession always having an eye for people, but which has also pushed her to establish with six other women, and lead a social promotion association (IMPACT-D APS) focused on women’s empowerment, especially in reference to the role of woman-mother.

IMPACT, a word that returns often in these lines, is in fact the impulse that moves Jessica in the different areas of her life, as it is crucial for her that the effects of her activities are actually useful in improving the conditions from which she starts.
