Our Board
A diverse group of leaders in their respective fields with leadership and Board experience at major domestic and international companies.
Air Products’ Board nominees have substantial experience in key aspects of our business, as well as in the market sectors we serve, and possess extensive experience in functional areas that are important to the execution of their oversight responsibilities. We believe all of our director nominees have personal traits such as candor, integrity, commitment and collegiality that are essential to effective corporate governance.
Since 2020, Air Products has significantly refreshed its Board, appointing four new independent Directors, including Lisa A. Davis, Wayne T. Smith, Tonit M. Calaway, and Jessica Trocchi Graziano. We have recently announced plans to nominate Bhavesh V. “Bob” Patel and Alfred Stern for election to the Board at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting as part of our commitment to ongoing refreshment.
Following these changes, the Board will continue to be comprised of nine Directors, six of whom will have been appointed in the last five years.
