UK cosmetic ingredient maker Elementis has promoted Stijn Dejonckheere to the role of chief commercial officer.
The Belgian will lead the Personal Care and Performance Specialties businesses of the FTSE250 company.
Dejonckheere (pictured, left) was previously senior vice-president for Personal Care since July 2020, and before that was director of sales for Personal Care.
Dejonckheere holds master degrees in Bio-Engineering from Ghent University in Belgium and Agro-Management from Montpellier SupAgro in France.
He is also a graduate of the Executive Development Program from the Wharton School.
Personal Care magazine caught up with Stijn Dejonckheere at this month’s New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists Suppliers’ Day trade show (see video).
The move follows the appointment of Elementis’s new chief executive officer, Luc van Ravenstein, who took over from Paul Waterman on 29 April.
The British firm recently completed the sale of its talc business to IMI Fabi for $121m.
