Ashland announced that its chief financial officer, Kevin Willis, will leave the company on May 16 to pursue another opportunity.
William Whitaker, the company's vice president of finance, will serve as interim CFO.
Willis joined Ashland, an additives and chemicals company, in 1987 and served in various management positions in the decades since. His departure isn't the result of a disagreement with the company over financial policies or practices, the company said.
Whitaker, 36, has been with Ashland since 2015 and held several positions as he climbed the ladder. Prior to Ashland, he held various roles within private equity and transaction advisory services.
The board also appointed Samuel Richardson to serve as vice president, controller and principal accounting officer.
