Effective as of September 6, 2022, Dr. Strzelecki has also been appointed to serve on the Finance, Human Capital Management and Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board.
Dr. Angela Strzelecki, age 55, currently serves as President, Pharmaceutical Solutions for International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. (“IFF”), a global producer of specialty chemicals for the food and beverage, fragrance, home and personal care, and health and wellness end markets, a position that she has held since IFF’s spin off from DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (“DuPont”) in February 2021. From 2018 to 2021, Dr. Strzelecki served as the Global Business Director, Pharmaceutical Solutions for DuPont, with oversight over DuPont’s pharmaceutical business unit.
