Ingevity elects Kevin Willis to its board of directors<\/b><\/p>\n

Accomplished chemical industry CFO brings substantial finance and capital management expertise and experience driving corporate transformation<\/i><\/p>\n

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nIngevity Corporation (NYSE:NGVT) today announced the election of J. Kevin Willis to the board of directors effective today. With Mr. Willis\u2019s election, the Board now includes nine directors, eight of whom are independent.<\/p>\n

\nMr. Willis is senior vice president and chief financial officer (CFO) at Ashland Inc. (NYSE:ASH), a global additives and specialty ingredients company serving a wide range of consumer and industrial markets, including architectural coatings, automotive, construction, energy, food and beverage, nutraceuticals, personal care and pharmaceuticals. As CFO, he oversees Ashland’s worldwide financial functions and processes, and as a member of Ashland’s executive committee, he shares overall responsibility for setting global strategy, managing capital and upholding the company\u2019s operating principles. During Mr. Willis\u2019 37-year tenure at Ashland, he has held accounting, finance and treasury management roles of increasing responsibility, including an international posting in the Netherlands to standardize processes across European operations.<\/p>\n

\nJean Blackwell, chair of Ingevity\u2019s board, said, \u201cKevin is an accomplished leader with extensive experience as CFO of a publicly traded, sustainability-focused specialty chemicals company with international reach. Over the course of his career, he has had an integral role in shaping strategies that create shareholder value through returns-driven capital allocation planning, operating efficiencies initiatives and business portfolio separations, including Ashland\u2019s successful separation from Valvoline. We are confident that Kevin\u2019s insights will be additive to the strategic and operating changes Ingevity is making to accelerate execution and deliver significant, sustainable value creation.\u201d<\/p>\n
