Dutch paints firm Akzo Nobel N.V. (AKZA.AE) said Friday that
Chief Financial Officer Maelys Castella is stepping down from the
role and as a board member due to health reasons, and that it has
appointed Hans De Vriese as interim finance chief.
The firm, which earlier this year fought off a bid from U.S.
peer PPG Industries Inc., said Ms. Castella is expected to return
to the company in a senior role. It plans to start a search for a
permanent chief financial officer, both internally and
externally.
Mr. De Vriese joined AkzoNobel in 2009, initially as corporate
director control, before taking over as group controller in
2015.
