Chemical distributor Univar, Redmond, WA, has appointed D. Beatty D'Alessandro executive vice president and CFO. D'Alessandro's appointment follows the announcement that Steven M. Nielsen will be resigning from Univar as executive vice president and CFO on January 15.
"Beatty is a highly accomplished and respected financial executive and we are thrilled to have him join our team,” said Erik Fyrwald, Univar president and CEO. “His knowledge of distribution businesses and his expertise in finance and information technology will be tremendous assets for us as we implement our own systems and processes.”
D'Alessandro joins Univar after spending 29 years at Graybar, a distributor of electrical, communications and data networking products and provider of related supply chain management and logistics services.
