PPG's Foulkes, Liebert Recognized as
'Women of Influence'
PPG has named Anne Foulkes, Senior Vice
President and General Counsel, and Rebecca
Liebert, Executive Vice President, to the
Pittsburgh Business Times' 2021 Women of
Influence list.
" Anne and Rebecca are trusted leaders,
advisors, mentors and role models to numerous
employees and leaders throughout PPG and
beyond, including students and professionals
throughout our headquarters community, " says Michael H.
McGarry, PPG Chairman and CEO. " Their future-forward
mentality, ongoing focus on inclusion and overall organizational
effectiveness have proven to be invaluable to PPG. "
During her more than 25-year career with PPG, Foulkes
has provided legal counsel for nearly every PPG business and
function. She has guided the company's merger and acquisition
transactions, including the largest acquisitions in the company's
138-year history. Since Foulkes was appointed to the executive
and operating committees in 2018, PPG has expanded new
capabilities and identified growth opportunities through dozens
of acquisitions of high-performing brands, including coatings
manufacturers Tikkurila, Whitford, Hemmelrath and EnnisFlint.
Foulkes is also a member of the Association of Corporate
Counsel and the Allegheny County Bar Association, and served
on the board of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food
Bank from 2010 to 2021. She has also served as the
executive sponsor of PPG's Diversity and Inclusion
Leadership Council.
Liebert joined PPG in June 2018 and leads
PPG's industrial coatings segment, which includes
the industrial, packaging, specialty coatings and
materials, and automotive OEM coatings businesses,
including the company's mobility initiatives. Under
her leadership, PPG has introduced market-ready
coatings for the emerging battery electric vehicle market,
delivered operational strategies to align regional growth
opportunities and invested significantly in leadership training
programs. She also oversees the company's Asia Pacific region
and has functional responsibility for global procurement.
Liebert currently serves on the board of directors for Corteva
Agriscience. She was also recently recognized by Automotive
News as one of the 100 leading women in the North American
automotive industry.
The 2021 Women of Influence Awards honor the Pittsburgh
region's most influential business women across every industry
and profession with a strong track record of performance
