The appointment changes the structure of PPG's global procurement and supply-chain leadership.

DeGram assumes responsibility for supply-chain operations from Christine Camsuzou, PPG vice president and chief procurement officer.

Camsuzou had taken on expanded responsibility for an integrated procurement and supply-chain organization in 2024.

With DeGram's appointment, she will focus exclusively on leading PPG's global procurement organization and advancing its strategic priorities.

Manufacturing and Supply Chain Experience

DeGram joins PPG from Regal Rexnord, a manufacturer of industrial automation, motion control and power transmission technologies.

At Regal Rexnord, he served as senior director of global materials management excellence and sales, inventory and operations planning.
