CPCA Welcomes Katie Maljaei
At a recent CPCA Board of
Directors meeting, Governance
Committee Chair Steve Veroba
of Benjamin Moore nominated
Katie Maljaei of Brenntag Canada
as a new board member. The
nomination was unanimously
accepted by the Board and is
effective immediately. She will
be one of three board members
representing the Supplier/
Distributor Class.
Veroba said, " Katie's
nomination will proceed to the
full membership for confirmation
at the next Annual General
Meeting. " This AGM will be
held during CPCA's Annual
Conference on May 24 and 25
at the Queen's Landing Hotel in
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont.
Maljaei has a long history
of working in the chemical
industry with a Masters in
Chemical Engineering from
Vrije Universiteit Brussel,
following a degree from Boston
University. After moving to
Canada in 1996, Maljaei started
with SICO as a formulator in
Montreal, now under the PPG
suite of brands, and subsequently
worked with what is now Protech
Paint in Quebec. In 1998 she
more permanently settled
with Akzo Nobel in St. Jerome
as the eventual Waterborne
Coatings Group leader for nine
years, gaining experience in
formulating, production, and
customer trials. In 2006 she
began working with St. Lawrence
Chemical Distribution, later
acquired by Brenntag Canada,
and in 2018-2021 was the Senior
Product Manager for Brenntag
and is now the Canadian National
Sales Manager.
Maljaei has a broad knowledge
of the industry and is involved in
a number of organizations such as
the Order of Engineers of Quebec,
Society of Tribologists and
Lubrication Engineers, and the
International Society of Female
Professionals. Speaking four
languages means she has little
trouble communicating widely.
" We are so pleased that Katie has agreed
to join the CPCA board as her experience in
the CASE industry in Canada will certainly
be critical in helping with the Board's work
and overall strategic direction, " said Darrin
Noble, president, and COO of Cloverdale
Paint and CPCA Board Chair.
