MEDINA, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RPM International Inc. (NYSE: RPM) today announced key leadership changes aimed at continuing the company’s growth and success. These leadership updates come as part of a broader strategic reorganization designed to streamline operations by transitioning from four reporting groups to three. The new structure further enhances collaboration and operational efficiency across the organization.

David Dennsteadt

On October 2, 2025, the RPM International Inc. Board of Directors elected David Dennsteadt to RPM executive vice president. In this new role, Dennsteadt will oversee all corporate administrative functions, including finance, legal, risk management, human resources, manufacturing and operations. Bringing a wealth of experience from his recent tenure as group president of RPM’s Performance Coatings Group (PCG), Dennsteadt has delivered consistent record-breaking sales and earnings while cultivating a global strategic vision. Since joining Stonhard in 1995 as a technical service engineer, Dennsteadt has held a variety of leadership roles, including managing director of Stonhard Europe, vice president of PCG, and group president of PCG.

RPM chairman and CEO Frank Sullivan stated, “Dave has been a transformational leader within the Performance Coatings Group, demonstrating his ability to deliver exceptional results while fostering innovation.”

Gregory Michael

Gregory Michael succeeded Dennsteadt as group president of the newly expanded Performance Coatings Group. Previously, Michael demonstrated exemplary leadership as president of Stonhard, where he expanded sales, executed long-term strategic plans, achieved record profitability and increased efficiency. Under Michael’s guidance, Stonhard became a top performer among RPM companies for operational and commercial excellence.

“Greg’s track record speaks to his ability to innovate, adapt and deliver sustainable growth,” remarked Sullivan. “His leadership will be instrumental in driving the Performance Coatings Group forward.”
