PPG appoints Sklarsky as executive vice president, finance
PITTSBURGH, March 28, 2013 - PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG) today announced that Frank S. Sklarsky will join the company as executive vice president, finance, effective April 15, reporting to Chairman and CEO Charles E. Bunch.
Also, effective August 1, Sklarsky will be named PPG executive vice president and chief financial officer.
David B. Navikas, currently PPG senior vice president, finance and chief financial officer, will continue in his current role until August 1, and will then continue as senior vice president in a senior leadership role that will be announced later.
“We are pleased to welcome Frank to PPG. His deep financial management expertise and executive leadership experience guiding strategy and operations with large, global enterprises will be an asset to PPG as we continue to grow and expand our positions around the world,” Bunch said.
“I also want to recognize David Navikas as he transitions into his next senior leadership role in PPG,” Bunch said. “David's detailed understanding of PPG's global businesses and deep financial management expertise are invaluable, as demonstrated recently in his role supporting our strategic initiatives to separate PPG's commodity chemicals business and to acquire AkzoNobel's North American architectural coatings business.
“Frank, David and I will work closely together with PPG's global finance organization and the entire leadership team as we carry out this important senior leadership succession,” Bunch said.
