“Laurie is an accomplished and seasoned finance and accounting professional, and we are confident that she will bring high-caliber skills and proven experience in implementing growth strategies to her new role with the company,” Kurt Bitting, Ecovyst’s CEO, said. “On behalf of our board of directors and the management team, I also want to thank Mike for his hard work and dedication on behalf of the company and for his many contributions to Ecovyst’s success. We wish Mike all the best in the future.”
