Dignam joined Chemours in 2015. She brings over 35 years of experience in the chemical industry where she has held senior roles in business and operations, sales and marketing, commercialization, and supply chain. Prior to her role as interim CEO of Chemours, she was president of the Titanium Technologies (TT) segment, and president of the Advanced Performance Materials (APM) segment.
