LANXESS AG
Blad studied chemistry in Kiel, obtained his doctorate in Muenster and is regarded by many in the industry as a specialty chemicals expert. He has been with the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company since 2006, where he is in charge of the “Megatrends-supported growth in chemicals” initiative and a member of the Chemicals Practice.
Following the closing of the acquisition of US-based chemical company Chemtura, the current head of Corporate Development, Dr. Markus Eckert (46), has assumed responsibility for the new Urethane Systems business unit.
