Coatings specialist PPG has appointed Alex Lopez as vice president of investor relations and operational finance, effective 1 October.
Currently serving as director of investor relations, Lopez will report to the company’s senior vice-president and chief financial officer Jamie Beggs.
Under the new arrangement, Lopez will keep responsibility for investor relations and will also oversee enterprise operational finance.
His remit will include capital discipline, productivity oversight and improving the effectiveness of operational finance.
During two decades at PPG, Lopez has held several senior finance positions across business units and corporate functions.
Before moving into investor relations in 2024, he was global finance director for automotive OEM coatings.
In 2017, he moved to Mexico City to become finance director for architectural coatings, Latin America, where he was involved in the development of PPG Comex.
Before joining PPG, Lopez worked in financial planning and liaison roles at GE Appliances and its joint venture Mabe through their financial management programme.
