MILWAUKEE, April 21, 2022 /3BL Media/ - Andrea Ruotolo’s passion for Earth Day and what the annual observance represents goes beyond her new role as Rockwell Automation’s (NYSE: ROK) Global Head of Customer Sustainability. She’s also building a net zero home in Ontario, Canada, where she’s based, and has focused her entire career on advancing sustainability on a global level.
Ruotolo, a Ph.D. and Fulbright Scholar, is among the leaders of a growing Rockwell team that’s accelerating the global development and launch of new and enhanced customer sustainability offerings.
