2. Introduction
With more than two decades of experience in engineering and
management, Donald Lee “Don” Pferdehirt is founder of
ChemOps Insights LLC, a consultancy firm in Spring, TX. Prior to
establishing ChemOps Insights, Don Pferdehirt worked as head
of global technical support for methylene diphenyl
diiscocyanate (MDI) operations for the Bayer Corporation.
Over its 150 years in business, Bayer has primarily focused on
innovation and development in agriculture and life science. Of
the company’s four primary business units, the pharmaceutical
division is particularly notable for its longstanding commitment
to women’s health since the early 20th century.

Bayer was the first pharmaceutical company to develop an estrogen
preparation for menopause, was responsible for the development of
a key drug used in contraceptive pills, and was the first to offer
contraceptive pills to women in European countries.
In addition to its continued commitment to research on women’s
health and reproductive care, Bayer supports charitable initiatives
that benefit women in need. Recently, the corporation made a
donation of $10,000 each to 13 domestic violence shelters
specifically to support women who were fleeing abuse with their pets
in tow. The money will ensure the shelters have the resources
necessary to accommodate women in need with pets, preventing
victims of domestic violence from needing to make the difficult
choice to leave a pet behind.
