Global leader in the field of specialty chemicals, Clariant announced that it has appointed Patrick Jany as Chief Financial Officer, effective January 1, 2006.
The appointment follows the naming last month of Jan Secher as Clariant's Chief Executive designate, taking over from current CEO Roland Loesser, who will become Chairman of the Board of Directors on April 7, 2006 at the company's Annual General Meeting.
Patrick Jany will replace current CFO Francois Note, who will be leaving at the end of this year to pursue opportunities outside Clariant.
"Francois Note leaves Clariant with my sincere appreciation for playing a key role in restoring a strong financial base for Clariant and for his valuable contribution to Transformation Program," Loesser said. "We wish him all the very best."
Patrick Jany, 37, currently is Clariant's Head of Corporate Development with responsibility for group strategy and mergers and acquisitions. Before taking that role, Jany was Head of Country Organization in Mexico. Prior to that, he held positions in Finance and Controlling within Clariant, including serving as Chief Financial Officer for the region ASEAN as well as Head of Controlling for the Pigments & Additives Division. He joined Sandoz, one of Clariant's predecessor companies, in 1990.
"Patrick Jany has broad and deep experience of Clariant's operations and its finances and I am sure that as CFO he will be a great asset to the company," Loesser said.
