Momentive Group has appointed Craig Borkowski as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective June 16. Borkowski brings over a decade of experience with the company, having previously served in key leadership roles including Global VP of Electronic Materials and Chief Strategy Officer.

"Craig's expertise in innovation and growth will help us deliver advanced silicone solutions to our customers," said Chairman YH Kim. 

Borkowski expressed enthusiasm about rejoining the company: "With KCC's support, we'll drive digital transformation and sustainable innovation to create long-term value."

His return suggests Momentive's parent KCC is doubling down on technological leadership rather than pursuing cost-cutting strategies. This could differentiate Momentive in high-value applications while maintaining margins.
