CEO Forum Expands to Include Five Executives

Editor, Coatings World, Coatings World

Last March we introduced a new yearly feature article, the CEO Forum. The inaugural forum featured insights from Ton Büchner of AkzoNobel and Charles Shaver of Axalta Coating Systems. This year’s forum (page 64) has expanded to include five executives and gives our readers a truly global perspective.

Joining Büchner and Shaver, are Charles Bunch, chairman and CEO, PPG Industries; Shuchao Cao, vice chairman, Carpoly Chemical Group; Pierre-Yves Jullien, group president & CEO, Hempel; and Abhijit Roy, managing director and CEO, Berger Paints India Ltd.  

I am grateful that these executives took time out of their busy schedules to offer our readers their unique perspective on the paint and coatings industry and their business strategy for 2015 and beyond.
