Berwyn, Pennsylvania – Trinseo SA has announced several changes to its executive leadership, as part of a strategy to realign its organisation around a “global functional structure.”
Effective 2 Oct, Hayati Yarkadas, senior vice president (SVP) and business president performance materials, stepped down from his position in order to pursue other opportunities.
Among his other responsibilities, Yarkadas was in charge of Trinseo’s rubber operations.
Also effective 7 Oct, Tim Stedman, SVP and business president takes over as SVP strategy and corporate development, while SVP strategy development and corporate services Jeff Denton assumes the role of VP supply chain services.
In addition, Tim Thomas, operations director, has been named VP manufacturing and operational excellence.
These roles will report to the CEO and be members of the company’s executive leadership team.
“The shift of our organisation to a global functional structure will drive greater focus on business process optimisation and efficiency,” said CEO Frank Bozich.
The move, added Bozich, is in conjunction with the company’s business services transition from Dow, an initiative which will see certain administrative services such as accounts payable, logistics, and IT services separated from Dow in the first quarter of 2020.
A search has been initiated for the role of senior vice president, commercial, which also will report to the CEO. In the interim, the global business units will report to Bozich.
