iThis week I had the pleasure of speaking with Shanisha Smith, Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Counsel for LyondellBasell, about her role as counsel and the rewards and challenges of advising a major chemical producer on HSE legal and product stewardship issues. In our conversation, we learn about Shanisha’s beginnings not far from here on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to now living in Houston and counseling LyondellBasell’s, one of the world’s largest chemical manufacturers, global team of HSE and product stewardship professionals on an incredibly diverse range of legal and product stewardship issues. We discuss Shanisha’s impressive personal background, how it prepared her for the demands of her current job, and Shanisha’s approach to counseling her client on evolving legal and stewardship topics, many of which are emerging with no clear answer.
