MIDLAND,
Mich., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow
(NYSE: DOW) announces today Brendy
Lange, business vice president of Dow Industrial Solutions,
has been named President of Performance Materials & Coatings
(PM&C). He succeeds Mauro
Gregorio who will retire at the end of September with
40 years of dedicated service. The transition will begin
immediately.
Lange brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role.
During his career with Dow, Lange has held several leadership and
strategy-development positions across the Company. In his most
recent role, he maximized profitability and implemented a growth
strategy for Dow's Industrial Solutions global asset footprint.
Prior to Industrial Solutions, Brendy held roles in Corporate
Development, Electronic Materials business in Tokyo, and was instrumental in the DowDuPont
Joint Integration Management Office during the merger
transaction.
"Brendy's proven ability to drive profitable growth and his
commitment to leading people make him the ideal choice for this
critical role," said Jim Fitterling,
Dow chair and CEO. "Under Brendy's leadership, I am confident that
Performance Materials & Coatings will continue to thrive and
innovate, delivering exceptional value to our customers and
stakeholders."
Prior to joining Dow in 2010, Lange worked as a consultant at
Deloitte Consulting in Chicago. He
holds an MBA with honors from The Wharton School at the
University of Pennsylvania and a
bachelor's degree in finance and accounting from Indiana University.
Gregorio's tenure at Dow began in 1984, and in the years that
followed, he held a variety of key leadership roles across the
company.
"Mauro's strategic vision, understanding of our customers, and
commitment to excellence have been instrumental in driving our
success. His remarkable journey at Dow leaves an indelible mark on
our company and the industries we serve," said Fitterling.
Gregorio's leadership was pivotal during the integration of Dow
Corning's silicones business into Dow.
Gregorio's impact extends beyond business. He has been a strong
advocate for inclusion and diversity, serving as the executive
sponsor of Dow's Hispanic & Latin Network employee resource
group. His commitment to community engagement is evident through
his service on the Board of Directors for United Way of
Midland County and MyMichigan
Health Foundation.
Fitterling adds, "As Mauro embarks on this new chapter, I extend
my deepest gratitude for his unwavering dedication, vision, and
leadership. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we forge
ahead, guided by the principles he championed."
