Patrick Dacek, former senior manager of supply chain at Keurig Dr Pepper, has been appointed director of supply chain at ZymoChem in Burlington.
Dacek’s hiring comes as part of a wider initiative to expand ZymoChem’s Vermont-based operations. In his new role, he will lead the company’s global supply-chain strategy, driving operational excellence as the company scales up commercial production of its high-performance, bio-based materials and develops products to showcase how those materials work.
“Pat’s leadership marks another milestone in our effort to build a world-class team in Vermont,” said Joe Giallanella, general manager of ZymoChem’s Burlington-based branded products division. “His experience will help us create a supply chain that is as innovative and sustainable as our science — and rooted in the values of this region.”
