Steve Mizell is a businessman who takes a pragmatic approach to helping solve world problems like hunger and regional problems like getting top tech talent to work in the Midwest.
As the head of Human Resources at Monsanto, he is focused on hiring highly skilled technical people, with diverse backgrounds and ideas. “What is it we are trying to help solve on our planet? There isn’t as much arable and sustainable land and there are limited resources, like water. To solve this, you really need bright and passionate people. And that requires diversity and inclusion,” he said.
