About Victor Dean, Nacd.Dc

In all aspects of life, I gravitate towards coaching roles where I can encourage transformations in others. At home, Iโ€™ve coached countless little league teams for my sons. At work, I view myself as a teacher and catalyst for bringing businesses ahead. Regardless of the venue, I truly believe in investing in people. Because of this mentality, I am a trusted turnaround executive leader with proven results leading struggling businesses into success.๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ข๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„I began my career as a Chemical Engineer at Dow Chemical Company. With time, I realized I was more passionate about the business side than manufacturing, so I obtained an MBA and secured a role as a Business Financial Manager for Dowโ€™s Methocel LOB. From there, I have held many roles spanning functions as diverse as marketing, new business development, M&A, strategy, and operations. In 2012, I became Senior Vice President of Strategy and BD at J.M. Huber Company and have since held SVP and General Manager roles for 3 of LOBs with revenues from $60Mโ€“$500 M.

To sell Huber CMC, I first had to turn around a struggling LOB. I did so, growing business volume 15%, revenue 11%, and EBIDTA 33% CAGR in 2 years.I currently serve as SVP and GM of the Global Fire Retardant Additives (FRA) business, where I am responsible for setting strategic vision, implementing business structures, and optimizing internal operations of a 700 + person company.๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐˜†๐—น๐—ฒI believe that success in people and success in business go hand-in-hand, so I prioritize people development and sustainable work practices. As a lifelong learner, I approach situations with curiosity and always try to listen to new ideas before taking action. I donโ€™t give up on people because Iโ€™m committed to their success. This approach has paid off: at Huber CMC, I had 97% retention throughout the entire 240-person company for 5 years despite public knowledge that the business was being prepared for sale.
