Lama Itani
Business Development Manager, Rare Earth, Solvay

I am a chemical Engineer with a PhD in Materials Science from Haute Alsace University. I joined Solvay in 2010.

I have been working for 13 years in the Research and Innovation function, where I evolved as a project manager, team manager, and R&D laboratory manager. During these 13 years, I had the opportunity to work on the elaboration of new inorganic and hybrid materials for different markets, such as the automotive, electronic, construction, Hydrogen, and agro markets. One of my main areas of expertise and closest to my heart domains is “Rare Earths Chemistry.”

In January 2023, I joined the Rare Earths business unit as Business Development Manager. In this new role, I manage customers’ interactions to develop Rare Earths materials for permanent magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines.
