Jenni Russell is always working to find the next big idea for Contec, a leading manufacturer of contamination control products for mission-critical cleaning in manufacturing environments worldwide. As a Research & Development Specialist, she works closely with chemists, microbiologists, and engineers to design new products as well as improve existing ones.
