Assistant Editor
Effective June 12, 2026, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Peter la Cour Gormsen, and Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Emilie Barriau, will jointly assume the role of interim CEO of Hempel, with equal responsibility and authority.
The joint interim CEO leadership ensures continuity and strong leadership capacity while the Board continues the CEO succession process. This follows the announced resignation of Michael Hansen, which begins June 11, 2026.
Peter la Cour Gormsen and Emilie Barriau will continue in their current roles while jointly leading the company during the interim period.
Richard Sand, Chair of the Board, says, “The Board has full confidence in the joint interim CEO leadership of Peter la Cour Gormsen and Emilie Barriau. Together, they bring complementary strengths and a deep understanding of Hempel’s business and customer solutions, providing balanced and effective leadership while the CEO succession process continues. Hempel remains firmly focused on executing its strategy and delivering value for customers, employees and partners.”
The Executive Group Management will continue to work closely together under the joint interim CEO leadership to ensure continued progress on Hempel’s Accelerate to Win strategy.
Governance and decision‑making structures remain unchanged, and the Board of Directors will continue to oversee the company closely throughout the transition.
