"On behalf of the Board, I also want to congratulate Steve on this appointment," said Paul Manning, chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of Sensient. "He has excelled in both the Flavors and Color Groups during the last 16 years. While serving in his current role, Steve has done an outstanding job transitioning the portfolio to higher value-added flavor and ingredient products and has consistently improved revenue and profit growth. His operational, commercial, and general management experience position him well to continue driving growth across the Flavors & Extracts Group.”
