Midland, MI -- Romeo Kreinberg, senior vice president
for Plastics, The Dow Chemical Company, has been elected to the Board
of Directors of Dow Corning Corporation. His election was approved at
the Dow Corning May 4 Board meeting and is effective immediately. In a
related move, Andrew Liveris, who became Dow president and CEO last November,
is stepping down from the Dow Corning Board of Directors.
"We welcome Romeo to our Board, and look forward
to the wealth of international business growth knowledge and experience
he brings to the team," said Stephanie Burns, Dow Corning president
and CEO. Burns also extended her appreciation and thanks to Liveris for
the significant contributions he has made to Dow Corning's Board.
Kreinberg joined Dow in 1977 and held a series of sales,
marketing, business operations and commercial management positions in
Europe until 1992, when he was named general manager for Dow Italy and
vice president of Dow Europe. He subsequently held global vice president
and business group president positions until he assumed his current position
at Dow in 2003. In 2004, he became a member of Dow's Office of the Chief
Executive.
A graduate of the National University of Architecture
and City Planning, Buenos Aires, Kreinberg serves on other boards including
the U.S. Council for International Business and Univation Technologies.
