AkzoNobel broadens its leadership team
AkzoNobel is to broaden its leadership team in order to accelerate sustainable growth. This decision should be considered in the context of new strategic ambitions. A nine-strong Executive Committee will be established comprising the current Board of Management members and four new leaders.
Joining AkzoNobel to form part of the new Executive Committee is Marjan Oudeman. Once named as one of the Wall Street Journal's Women to Watch in Europe, Oudeman previously worked for Tata Steel Limited, where she was Divisional Director of Strip Products. She will be responsible for Human Resources and Organizational Development. Also joining the new leadership team will be Graeme Armstrong (Research, Development & Innovation), Sven Dumoulin (General Counsel) and Werner Fuhrmann (Supply Chain/Sourcing).
The broadening of the leadership team coincides with several management changes within the company's businesses. The members of the Executive Committee will officially take up their positions on January 1, 2011.
