PPG announced the appointment of Joe Gette, currently vice president, deputy general counsel and secretary, as senior vice president, general counsel and secretary, effective Jan. 1, 2026. He will also join the company’s operating and executive committees, reporting to PPG chairman and CEO Tim Knavish. In this role, Gette will succeed Anne M. Foulkes, current senior vice president and general counsel, who has announced her intent to retire. Effective Jan. 1, Foulkes will transition to serve as senior vice president, legal and special projects, to ensure a smooth transition of general counsel responsibilities and oversee certain projects for the company. She will continue to report to Knavish in this new executive leadership role.
“Joe has provided invaluable legal counsel to our businesses and for many of our acquisitions and divestitures throughout his two decades with PPG. His vast experience and proven leadership capabilities have helped PPG drive its transformation forward,” said Tim Knavish, PPG chairman and CEO. “Joe has a wealth of experience in many areas of law and has consistently provided valuable and practical counsel across the organization. In addition, as corporate secretary, Joe has been an important liaison and counsel for PPG’s Board of Directors. We congratulate Joe as he transitions into this important executive leadership role with the company and thank Anne for agreeing to remain a key part of the executive leadership team through the end of August 2026.”
Gette joined PPG in 2005 as an assistant counsel and has held roles of increasing responsibility since that time supporting several PPG business units, regional operations and serving as the lead transactional lawyer for the company. In 2018, Gette was appointed assistant general counsel, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and securities, and then in 2022 was named vice president, deputy general counsel and secretary. In his current role, Joe has corporate secretary responsibilities while continuing to provide oversight and support for the company’s corporate development activities. He also has oversight responsibility for securities and commercial legal activities for PPG’s U.S. and Latin America, North and South regions.
