On March 14, 2024, the World Affairs Council of Charlotte host a moderated discussion with Kent Masters, Chairman & CEO of Albemarle Corporation. Together, we learned how Albemarle’s innovative solutions are addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time, such as helping to ensure the safety of our food and water, supporting life-saving medical devices and pharmaceuticals, enabling an always-on world, and advancing the clean energy transition. During this session, Masters shared how Albemarle’s core values define the company’s operations and what it means to lead a multinational corporation at the center of a young and dynamic market during a time of great geopolitical tensions. This CEO Series provided a unique window into the world of energy security and the challenges facing the U.S. today, and the need to remain rooted in the fundamentals of impactful leadership.
