Laura Demmons is the co-founder and CEO of Sylvan Source. Based in Sunnyvale, CA, her company last year introduced its first major product, a point-of-use water treatment system for residential and industrial uses that is being marketed to builders, retailers and distributors in the West, Middle West and Canada (soon to go national).
In an interview with Water Technology® Demmons talks about what it's like to head a new "water tech" start-up company and about being what is still a rarity — a woman CEO.
Read more about Demmons in the interview in the February 2007 issue of Water Technology® magazine, which can now be accessed online.
Every month in Water Technology Magazine, "Professor POU/POE" answers reader questions about point-of-use/point-of-entry water treatment.
If you have a question for the Professor (also known as David Bauman, Technical Editor), send an e-mail to rdipaolo@ntpmedia.com and we'll pass it along. With your question, please indicate your general location (region, state, province, etc.). Not all questions will be chosen for publication.
