The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) will be working with the leading global executive recruitment firm Korn Ferry to find the association’s next president and chief executive officer.

ACI is the trade association for the $60 billion cleaning product supply chain, representing manufacturers and formulators of soaps, detergents and general cleaning products used in household, commercial, industrial and institutional settings; companies that supply ingredients and finished packaging for these products; and chemical distributors.

An ACI Board of Directors President and CEO Search Committee is guiding ACI’s efforts to find a successor to Melissa Hockstad, who departed in December 2024 after eight years at the helm.

The ACI CEO search will be co-led by Lorraine Lavet and Nick Larkin at Korn Ferry.
