Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC), a global specialty chemicals
manufacturer, announced today that Natalia Scherbakoff has been
appointed the company’s new chief technology officer.
She will succeed David Deters, who for nearly a decade led a
global innovation program that made Orion a leader in developing
sustainable materials, battery additives and other technology in
the carbon black industry. Deters announced his retirement earlier
this year and will remain with Orion through the end of 2024 to
ensure a seamless transition.
Scherbakoff joins Orion from Trinseo, a specialty materials
company, where she served as the vice president of Technology &
Innovation, overseeing global research, development and technology
innovation with sustainability and circular solutions being a key
underlying focus. She also supported key growth initiatives as well
as mergers and acquisitions. Scherbakoff was a member of Trinseo’s
Corporate Environmental, Social and Governance Council.
“Natalia has broad global experience, a track record of moving
ideas through the development process to successful product
launches and commercial savvy. She combines strong people skills
with a passion for driving innovation and achieving tangible
outcomes,” Orion CEO Corning Painter said. “She is arriving at an
exciting time here at Orion, and I am looking forward to her
building on the success we have had under David’s leadership in
batteries, circular products, coatings and other customer
applications.”
Before Trinseo, Scherbakoff was the vice president of Research
Innovation & Product Lines at Plastic Omnium, a French
automotive supplier now known as OPmobility. She also served as the
general manager of Specialty Composites and the director of Global
Innovation at Owens Corning, a building materials maker.
Scherbakoff is a non-executive board member at specialty
materials producer Clayens NP and is also a member of the Forbes
Technology Council.
She holds a Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Macromolecular Science from Case
Western Reserve University (U.S.), a Chemical Engineering degree
from Mauá Engineering University (Brazil) and an MBA from Getulio
Vargas Foundation (Brazil). She is fluent in English, French,
Portuguese, Italian and Russian.
Scherbakoff will be based at Orion’s main innovation hub in
Cologne, Germany, and will also oversee the company’s technical
centers in China, South Korea and the U.S. She will continue to
build Orion’s innovation capabilities, including leveraging our new
Battery Innovation Center in Cologne with a full array of
production, testing and diagnostic equipment.
She will also oversee Orion’s €12.8 million investment – which
includes €6.4 million in funding from the German government and
European Union – to further develop and demonstrate a
climate-neutral process for producing carbon black from alternative
carbon sources. The technology is designed to improve Orion’s yield
and throughput in the production of carbon black using circular
feedstocks.
