Dolf Stockhausen will step down from Clariant's Board of Directors at the company's 20th Annual General Meeting on 31 March.
The Board of Directors will propose the election of Susanne Wamsler as his successor, thus continuing the representation of the former family shareholders of Süd-Chemie AG in Clariant.
Stockhausen, a member of Clariant's Board of Directors since 2011, has reached the statutory maximum age for board members of 70 and will therefore resign. He was a member of the Technology & Innovation Committee. Before joining Clariant's Board, he was member of the Supervisory Board of Directors of Süd-Chemie AG, Munich, Germany.
Wamsler held various positions with Deutsche Bank in Munich and New York and has worked as an entrepreneur in different fields, including retail, real estate, telecommunications and wealth management.
