Deep Tech Leaders is pleased to announce the appointment of Keith Wiggins as Chief Executive of Econic Technologies.

Keith is a highly experienced chemicals industry professional, having served in senior commercial and general management roles with Dow Chemical over a 20-year+ career.

Keith takes over from Dr Rowena Sellens, who led the company for 7-years and who was also appointed by the Deep Tech Leaders’ team in 2014.
