October 22, 2024

H.B. Fuller Co. announced that Teresa (Terry) J. Rasmussen has been appointed chair of the company’s Board of Directors following the retirement of Lee R. Mitau, effective January 22, 2025.

“We are pleased to appoint a leader of Terry’s caliber as the new chair of H.B. Fuller’s Board of Directors,” said Celeste Mastin, H.B. Fuller’s president and chief executive officer. “Having worked closely with Terry, I know firsthand that she is a visionary leader who brings global perspective and deep customer and go-to-market expertise to the role. We look forward to continuing to benefit from Terry’s extensive background in the financial services industry as we expand our presence in new high-growth end markets and transform our portfolio to become a 20% EBITDA margin business.”

“It is an honor to be named chair of H.B. Fuller’s board,” said Rasmussen. “Since joining in 2020, I have been impressed by the organization’s breadth of talent. I am eager to partner even more closely with Celeste and the entire board as H.B. Fuller continues to excel and innovate globally.”

“Lee has been a tremendous advisor to H.B. Fuller. His counsel and dedication created a blueprint for advancing our growth strategy and establishing H.B. Fuller as the largest pureplay adhesives company in the world,” said Mastin. “On behalf of the entire board, I want to thank Lee for his leadership and unwavering commitment to H.B. Fuller. We congratulate him on an incredible career and wish him all the best in retirement.”

“It has been an honor to serve on the H.B. Fuller board and to witness the company’s evolution and significant growth over the years,” said Mitau. “I’m grateful to have worked alongside so many talented leaders and have great confidence in the company’s leadership team and long-term growth strategy. I look forward to seeing what they will achieve next.”
