Additionally, an opportunity to interact with the community would be a <br />welcomed added responsibility. <br /> <br />1973 - Present The Dow Chemical Company <br /> <br />2000 .Present Dow Chemical <br />PMDI Plants Production Leader <br /> <br />1991 -2000 <br /> <br />Houston, Texas <br /> <br />I am currently responsible for 3 world scale plants producing polymeric isocyanate <br />(pMDI), which represents a significant percentage of Dow's global PMDI capacity, and a <br />distillation unit producing derivatives ofPMDI. I also have responsibility for <br />approximately SS direct reports, a multi-million dollar operating budget, EH&S and <br />productivity results, and serve as a member of the North America PMDI business team. <br />Shortly after assuming my current job it was announced that the 3 PMDI plants would be <br />shut down in 200S. Despite that news, and without any additional capital expenditures, <br />the plants established annual production records in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, and <br />made significant improvement in the reduction of spills and releases (including a new <br />record in 2003). Additionally, the department contributed to corporate financial success <br />in by holding costs level the past 4 years while absorbing inflation and salary increases. <br />Dow employees in these plants have had only 1 OSHA RECORDABLE injury since <br />January 2000. Safety and environmental perfonnance in these facilities is particularly <br />important as they process phosgene as an intennediate and represent Dow's highest risk <br />facilities anywhere in the world. <br /> <br />Dow Chemical <br /> <br />Houston, Texas <br /> <br />PhosgenelUtilitieslWaste Water Production Leader <br />1993 - 1995 added role of La Porte site Environmental Manager <br />1996 - 2000 added role of Houston Operations Public Affairs Leader <br />1999 - 2000 added role of Houston Operations EH&S Leader <br /> <br />During this time I was responsible for production of phosgene used in the PMDI process, <br />all La Porte site utilities, and environmental operations (solid waste, incinerator, and <br />RCRA waste water treatment p'lant).
