Barentz, a leading global specialty ingredients solution provider, announces the appointment of Rocky Prior as President Performance Materials North America. Rocky will succeed Howard Hubert, who has decided to retire after more than 10 years of leadership at the company. Howard and Rocky will work closely together over the next several months to ensure a smooth transition.
Rocky brings a wealth of experience, having held top executive roles for many years in the specialty distribution industry. He has also held several commercial leadership positions in specialty chemical and ingredient distribution and manufacturing. He began his career as a chemist at a coatings producer and later founded a specialty paint company.
“It has been a privilege to work with Howard the last ten years,” Mike McKenna, Barentz CEO North and Central America, said. “Howard is a great leader and strategist and he will leave a lasting impression on our organization. With Rocky’s appointment, we’ve selected an individual with exceptional industry experience that will help lead us through the next phase of our strategy. Rocky embodies the Barentz culture, has a proven track record of success, and understands how to create value with customers and principal partners. We are excited to welcome Rocky to our North American leadership team.”
