Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company to yours, since a large listed chemical group and a privately held specialty chemical maker face very different capital, reporting and financing demands. Also consider whether the person built a career inside one chemical company or moved across industries, depending on whether you need depth in one business or a broader view.
