At the Sept. 8 Extraordinary General Meeting, shareholders of Akzo Nobel N.V. shareholders appointed CEO Thierry Vanlancker to the Board of Management, the company announced Friday.

Vanlacker was named CEO by the Supervisory Board on July 19 succeeding Ton Büchner, who left AkzoNobel that month. 

“Thierry is an outstanding executive who is well placed to take AkzoNobel forward,” said Antony Burgmans, Supervisory Board chairman. “This includes the creation of two focused businesses, delivering sustainable growth and profitability.”
 
Vanlacker is the former head of Specialty Chemicals at AkzoNobel, having joined the company in 2016.

Prior to that, he was the president of Fluoroproducts for Chemours, the spin-off company of DuPont’s chemical businesses, which was formed in 2015.
