30 June 2009 – The Dow Chemical Company has announced that Victor Dean, Global Marketing and Business Development Director for Building & Construction of Dow Building Solutions, has also been named General Manager of Dow Roofing Systems, LLC (DRS) in addition to his current responsibilities.
Dow acquired Stevens Roofing Systems and created DRS so that we could combine Stevens’ expertise and know-how in commercial roofing with Dow Building Solutions’ expertise in building science, insulation, and polymer technology expertise to advance our energy efficiency leadership.
Victor’s leadership experience with the acquisition of Stevens, his subsequent ongoing role in its management, his strategic future-oriented focus, and his broad cross-industry experience will help us continue with integration. In addition, these skills will enable us to explore innovation and the potential application of new technologies and materials to further industry growth opportunities to better serve our customers.
Victor will serve as Dow’s executive focal point for DRS in commercial roofing industry associations and for customer relationships. You can continue to rely on the same DRS contacts you have today.
In a related move, Peter Kesser will depart from the Company. We greatly appreciate Peter’s service to the organization. He has played an integral role in elevating DRS’ visibility and leadership in the commercial roofing market. In particular, we want to thank Peter for his leadership through the acquisition, creation of DRS and its integration into Dow.
We look forward to continuing to offer products and systems innovation to better serve you – our valued customer.
Please contact your DRS sales representative if you have any questions.
