The ChemQuest Group recently announced two additions—Lan Deng and Jason Woods—to its team of directors. Lan Deng, Ph.D., joins ChemQuest with over 15 years of experience in the chemical industry, having served in leadership roles in Dow Chemical, Sherwin Williams, and PPG across R&D, product management, and strategic planning. Most recently, she served as the global technical director for automotive OEM business within PPG, where she oversaw the global product development of all technologies, including pretreatment, E-coat, primer, basecoat, clearcoat, as well as adhesives and sealants.
“Our society is at a point when the next innovation wave is starting to pick up and accelerate,” she said. “There are tremendous opportunities in health care, sustainable energy and digital transformation. The companies that can seize the opportunity to ride these waves will have long-lasting competitive advantages in the decades to come. As a technology leader, I want to help more companies, public or private, to catch and ride these waves; I also want to help the capital market find the right growth opportunity to invest so that our whole economy can benefit. ChemQuest can provide me an opportunity to do just that. I look forward to partnering with my colleagues and clients to create sustainable innovation and growth for the society.”
