Early life and education
editGiordan was an undergraduate student at Rutgers University, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in environmental science.[1] She moved to the University of Maryland, College Park for doctoral research on unsaturated hydrocarbons.[2] After earning her doctorate, Giordan joined the Goethe University Frankfurt, where she worked as an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation fellow.[3] After graduating, Giordan joined the Henkel Corporation, where she worked in research and development.[4][5]
Research and career
editGiordan worked as a Vice President of Research and Development at PepsiCo.[citation needed]
Giordan works on research and training programs, as well as commercial development.[6][7] She is the founder of ecosVC, an organization that looks to translate research into commercially successful innovations, and the Chemical Agent Network.[8][9]
In 2015, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation supported Giordan in establishing a network of women innovators.[10] The network looked to support women working in science and technology around the world.[10]
