Debra Ojany Mallowah is incapable of not laughing. The Head of Crop Science, Africa, at Bayer, takes everything with spurring warmth and conviviality, a charisma merchant. But you don’t get to the top by showing teeth, rather by gritting them, like a five-star general driving the enemy into the sea. Debra lives up to the reputation.
She is a warrior who has tasted the fire of grit on her tongue, and, if you come close enough, she touches you with that fire, shaking your faith and replacing it with some of hers.
