Tronox Limited (TROX) has appointed Jeffry Quinn as president and CEO, effective 1 December 2017. Quinn has served as a member of the company's board of directors since 2011, and will continue in that position.
Quinn brings more than 30 years of experience in the mining, refining, and chemicals industries to the role. He previously served as chairman and CEO of Solutia Inc, a publicly listed global specialty chemical company, from 2004 until its acquisition by Eastman Chemical Company in 2012.
Quinn succeeds Peter Johnston, a member of Tronox's board of directors, who has held the role of interim CEO since May 15, 2017. The board appointed Johnston to that role after Thomas Casey announced his retirement as CEO for health reasons. Johnston will remain a member of the company's board of directors.
Quinn, 58, joined Solutia in 2003 and was chairman and chief executive officer from 2004 through 2012. In 2012, he founded Quinpario Partners LLC, a private investment company that was also the sponsor of two publicly listed special-purpose acquisition corporations, and served as its chairman, CEO and managing member. Earlier in his career, Quinn was a member of the executive management team of Premcor Inc, a large, publicly traded independent refiner, from 2000 through 2003, and of Arch Coal Inc, the second-largest domestic coal producer, from 1986 through 2000.
