Colfax Corporation has announced that Matthew L. Trerotola, formerly an Executive Vice President at DuPont, has been named Chief Executive Officer and a director of Colfax. This appointment will become effective on July 24, 2015.
He will succeed Steven E. Simms, who will assist in the transition and will continue to serve on the Colfax Board. Simms notified the Board early this year that he planned to retire, and the Board subsequently undertook a search for a replacement.
Trerotola has spent most of his career at DuPont, Danaher Corporation and McKinsey & Company. He was most recently an executive vice president and a member of DuPont’s office of the chief executive.
