LONDON – Element Materials Technology (Element) announced that its current CFO, Jo Wetz, will succeed Charles Noall as Element’s CEO beginning Dec. 31, 2019. This follows Noall’s decision to retire from his executive role after 17 years leading the group.
In his previous role as an investor at 3i, Wetz, alongside Noall, led the original buyout of Element in 2010 before joining the group in 2012 as CFO. In his eight years at Element, Wetz has been instrumental in growing the group from 23 locations across five geographies with 600 employees to Element’s position today as a fast-growing, privately held testing businesses with almost 200 locations operating in more than 30 countries with almost 7,000 employees.
