Ascend Performance Materials promotes Phil McDivitt as President and Chief Operating Officer
Ascend Performance Materials Chief Executive Officer Fred Poses announced today the appointment of Phil McDivitt to president and chief operating officer. McDivitt joined Ascend last April and served as president of the company’s nylon business before the promotion.
“When I recruited Phil a year ago, I was confident that he had the commercial, operational and leadership capabilities to accelerate the growth and profitability of our nylon business and to do more. I am pleased that he will be doing this for our entire company," said Poses.
McDivitt brings nearly three decades of experience to the role. Prior to joining Ascend, he served in various operations and commercial positions at Celanese Corp. a global technology and specialty materials company. Beginning in 2012, he served as vice president and general manager of Celanese’s engineered materials business, which is an industry leader in acetal polymers, liquid crystal polymers, long fiber reinforced thermoplastics and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
McDivitt holds a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from Texas A&M University and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Dallas.
