Jim Minicucci is the senior vice president and general manager of Ashland’s personal care division. In conversation with editor Tim Probert, Jim discusses the US firm’s global strategy and wider personal care industry trends
Jim Minicucci (JM): I do! My father was born in 1935 moved to the US in the 1960s. He went back to Italy, met my mother, and then both of them came to the US, just north of Boston.
I was born and grew up in the Boston area, but all my family is in Italy. In Naples. My mother is one of seven children, and my father is one of six. I have over 50 first cousins and a very, very large family!
JM: Yes. I've always had an interest in languages. I also speak Spanish, Portuguese, and a bit of Arabic. I also have what I call 'survival Korean'. I lived in Asia for almost ten years, in Taiwan and Korea. I enjoy languages a lot.
