Tom Bolger, Chroma Color’s CEO for the past 16 years commented, “when I decided to work on a transition from my current position in early 2020, I agreed with our Board that we would take time with the process to ensure that we identified the best new leader for the great company we have been building. I could not be more pleased that Shruti has agreed to join the company as its new CEO to lead Chroma in its next stage of growth”.
Chairman George Abd commented, “we have been fortunate to have Tom Bolger’s leadership throughout our investment which has seen the company deliver record breaking growth, the completion of seven acquisitions and the integration of those businesses which has expanded Chroma’s footprint and broadened offerings to our customers. While we will miss Tom’s leadership day to day, he will continue to work with Shruti and the company as we move forward. We wish him all the best in this next phase as he takes more time to spend with his family and appreciate his willingness to continue to lead the company during the past 18 months”.
Mr. Singhal will be responsible to build on Chroma’s success, driving forward the Company’s strategic roadmap and transformation through organic and inorganic growth as well as a focus on innovation, delivering an industry leading technology position and cultivating a high-performance culture of service excellence.
“Shruti has a strong track record of driving growth, an exceptional customer experience and operational excellence in multiple global companies,” said George Abd. “His passion for performance and a strong, customer focused culture will be crucial to our continued transformation and execution of the strategy at Chroma Color”.
Throughout his career, Mr. Singhal has worked in North America and Europe, and has held positions of increasing management and executive responsibility with multinational companies including Henkel, Cognis (now BASF), Rohm & Haas, The Dow Chemical Company, Ashland, Solenis, and General Cable. Prior to joining Chroma Color, he most recently served as President for the DSM’s Engineering Materials business.
