Min Chong will be joining Ashland to lead the Specialty Additives business unit, effective Jan. 1, 2020, and Tim Pione will be leading the Performance Adhesives business unit, the company announced.
Both Chong and Pione will report directly to Guillermo Novo, chairman and CEO.
Chong spent the last three years at Evonik running its Global Crosslinker Business. Prior to that, he held several leadership roles at Air Products, which included leading its Performance Materials business in Asia and running its Global Epoxy Additives business.
Pione will assume an expanded business-centric leadership role for Adhesives. Moving to a new business model will enable Pione and the Adhesive’s team to take more ownership and accountability and drive improved performance in the Adhesives business.
Pione rejoined Ashland in 2018 to lead the Adhesives group.
Before that, he served as president of the U.S. subsidiary of Savare Specialty Adhesives. Previously he spent five years (2005-2010) as Ashland’s director of raw material procurement.
