Speaking of her organization in a story in the October 2008 issue of Purchasing, Air Products takes fresh look at sourcing, Mattimore said, “I know we are adding significant value when we are being asked to add more strategic supply management personnel…We’ve made great strides in our acceptance across the company. Our organization is being pulled, not pushed.”

She also will manage the Corporate Real Estate and General Services organizations. Stewart joined Air Products in 2003 as vice president and treasurer.
