Harry Rathore has been named Pennsylvania, US-headquartered Callery Corporation’s new CEO.
Callery, formerly known as BASF’s Inorganic Specialties Business, is focused on alkoxide bases, borane derivatives, and other highly reactive chemistries.
In a written statement, Rathore said he was looking forward to joining a company whose “products have enabled some of the world’s most impressive innovations, including billion-dollar blockbuster drugs, agricultural chemicals, and other high performance products from electronics to polymer applications.”
Rathore obtained a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from the Oregon State University, before founding pharma chemical company Polyorganix, which was bought by Borregaard Synthesis.
He has since held executive positions at Lonza AG and Alcami Corporation, and served on the boards of Borregaard Synthesis and Suven Life Sciences.
Rathore is currently a board member of ZCL Chemicals.
“Harry has the perfect combination of industry knowledge, commercial experience and relationships, technical expertise, and a proven track record in leading innovative chemistry organizations,” said member of Callery’s Board of Directors Bob Girton.
