Simon Leiderman, sales and marketing manager, Imacro, did not intend to work in steel. He wanted to study fullerenes (Simon said to look them up!). After working in brick plants and glass, he ended up in steel after a hiring manager got his resume to the right department. “I don’t have all the answers, but I very likely know someone in my network who does, and that is thanks to AIST.”
