PPG APPOINTS PEDRO SERRET AS CHAIRMAN AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF EMEA
PPG announced that Pedro Serret Salvat, general counsel of PPG EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), will become president and general counsel of PPG EMEA, effective immediately. Serret Salvat will continue to report to PPG’s senior vice president and general counsel, Anne Foulkes.
Serret Salvat thus succeeds Ram Vadlamannati, who will transition to lead a newly created PPG operations organization while maintaining executive oversight responsibility for the EMEA region, as previously announced.
“Since joining PPG, Pedro has demonstrated skilled leadership and a deep understanding of PPG’s business across the region. Pedro will drive a One PPG approach across our EMEA operations to maximize profitable growth through alignment and synergies throughout the region,” Foulkes said.
Salvat joined PPG in 2011 as regional legal director and was appointed EMEA general counsel in 2016. Prior to joining PPG, he worked as head of transactions for a global Swiss-listed company in Zurich and as legal director for a global listed company in Paris. Prior to his in-house practice, he also worked in private practice in Brussels in the fields of mergers and acquisitions and antitrust law. Serret Salvat holds a degree in Commercial Law from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and a Master in European Law from the University of Liège.
