Biography:
Chad Holliday, Jr., 57, is the chairman of the board and chief 
executive officer of DuPont. Chad is the 18th executive to lead the 
company in more than 200 years of DuPont history. He became CEO on 
February 1, 1998 and Chairman on January 1, 1999.

Chad has been with DuPont for more than 30 years. He started at 
DuPont in the summer of 1970 at DuPont's Old Hickory site after 
receiving a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from the University of 
Tennessee. He is a licensed Professional Engineer.

In 2004, he was elected a member of the National Academy of 
Engineering. He became chairman of the Business Roundtable's Task 
Force for Environment, Technology and Economy the same year. Chad is 
also past chairman of the World Business Council for Sustainable 
Development (WBCSD), The Business Council and the Society of Chemical 
Industry - American Section. While chairman of the WBCSD, Chad 
co-authored a book Walking the Talk which details the business case 
for sustainable development and corporate responsibility.

Chad also serves on the board of directors of HCA and is chair of the 
Board of Directors of Catalyst.  In addition, he is chairman of the 
U.S. Council on Competitiveness and is a founding member of the 
International Business Council.

Under Chad's direction, DuPont established the mission to achieve 
sustainable growth - increasing shareholder and societal value while 
decreasing the company's environmental footprint.

Chad says, "We will never compromise our core values - safety and 
environmental excellence, integrity, high ethical standards and 
treating people fairly and with respect. They are our foundation. We 
must continually strive to find ways to enhance them. "
