"Be passionate about what you do, and success will be your reward," says Dr. Mirela Mitan, who discovered her passion for chemistry and mathematics as a young girl growing up in Romania. She would spend her weekends and holidays solving complex chemistry equations while her friends played outdoors. In spite of having no entrepreneurial role models within her family or society, which was Communist at the time, she went on to attain a PhD in biochemistry and an MBA in luxury marketing and launch her own company. She also has authored over 25 publications and industry patents related to her innovations to high-end beauty products.
