Pam Butcher, president and COO of Pilot Chemical informed the board of directors that she would like to begin an orderly transition from her current role in order to have more time to pursue other interests.
Paul Morrisroe, chairman and CEO, stated, "Although we regret losing someone with Pam's impressive management capabilities, we do respect Pam's request. We acknowledge and greatly appreciate the strong leadership that Pam has contributed over the past 6 years, which has been a key to Pilot's success."
Butcher will continue to serve in her role of president and COO with full managerial responsibilities until a successor is named and the transition is complete. After that, Butcher will join Pilot Chemical's board following the transition.
"Her 35 years of business and leadership experience at Dow Chemical and Pilot Chemical will provide Pilot with valuable understanding of our company and insights into the industries it serves," added Morrisroe.
The Pilot board has formed a search committee to identify a new president. The executive search firm of Howard & O'Brien has been retained to advise the board on potential candidates with the expectation of someone being identified before December.
"Pilot is poised for great continuing success, and I believe this step in the evolution of leadership will only continue the trajectory of growth and opportunity," said Morrisroe.
