 Alex Josowitz, MBA ’10: Growing a Company to Keep People Safe
For Alex Josowitz, MBA '10, the pandemic has been a busy time, and an important one.
Alex Josowitz grew up surrounded by math and science. His mother was a public health scientist and his grandfather spent most of his career as a military chemist developing decontaminating agents for chemical and biological warfare. So it didn’t come as a big surprise when Alex went to college to earn an engineering degree because of his own math and science strengths.
When Alex was younger, his mom and grandfather received a grant to develop a product for decontamination. With this grant, they developed a disinfectant that could kill organisms better than most disinfectants already on the market. Together, they started a side business selling this product to a few businesses primarily in the food manufacturing and dental sectors.
Read Alex's full story.
