Orion S.A. Appoints Jonathan Puckett as Chief Financial Officer

Orion S.A., a leading global specialty chemicals company, today announced the appointment of Jonathan Puckett as Chief Financial Officer, effective December 1, 2025. He will succeed Jeff Glajch, who previously announced his plans to retire at the end of the year.

Puckett joins Orion with more than three decades of financial leadership experience, largely within the chemical sector. He spent 14 years at Celanese, most recently serving as Vice President and CFO of the Acetyl Chain segment. During his tenure, he held multiple senior finance positions across business units and corporate functions, taking on progressively broader responsibilities.

Before Celanese, Puckett held senior financial roles at Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., as well as leadership positions at PwC LLP and KPMG LLP.

“Jon’s extensive expertise, strong functional capabilities and proven track record in supporting both financial and strategic priorities make him an exceptional addition to Orion,” said Orion CEO Corning Painter. “His leadership will be invaluable as we move into our next phase of growth and enhanced profitability.”

Glajch, who announced his intent to retire in July, will remain a full-time employee through December 31, 2025, and will provide consulting support during the first quarter of 2026 to ensure a smooth transition.
