PolyOne Corporation has announced that Joel Rathbun has been promoted to SVP, mergers and acquisitions, reporting to Robert M. Patterson, president and CEO.
 
Rathbun returns to lead M&A activity for PolyOne, a role that he previously served upon joining the company in 2011 as VP, mergers & acquisitions. During that time, he expanded and strengthened the company’s Specialty platform through his expertise and leadership including the acquisitions of ColorMatrix and Glasforms. He also led the efforts to sell the company’s non-core vinyl dispersion, blending and suspension resin assets in 2013.
 
For the last three years, Rathbun has served as GM of PolyOne’s Specialty Engineered Materials business in North America. He delivered record operating income and profitability, while generating clear, sustainable momentum around cross-business unit and regional collaboration.
 
“Joel’s demonstrated business savvy and diverse background as an engineer, banker, M&A leader and general manager make him uniquely qualified for this important, expanded role,” said Patterson. “M&A will be instrumental as we continue our specialty platform growth in pursuit of our 2020 Platinum Vision.”
 
Prior to joining PolyOne, Rathbun had more than a decade of banking and M&A experience at Moelis & Company and CIBC World Markets.
