'Ranjan's leadership as CFO will play a pivotal role in our next phase of growth,' says CEO Laila Worrell, 'as we invest to deliver even greater innovation and value for our clients.

He will be a tremendous partner in executing Material's strategy and creating exceptional outcomes for our clients.'
