Borouge International has named Roland Janssen as its incoming chief commercial officer.
Janssen, who most recently served as senior vice-president for global sales and marketing, and has 25 years global commercial and industry experience, succeeds Stefan Doboczky, who is reportedly leaving to pursue a new opportunity.
The petrochemical firm said Janssen will assume the position on 1 October 2026.
Based at the company’s Vienna headquarters, Janssen will lead Borouge International’s global commercial organisation, overseeing and expanding customer relationships and advancing the company’s commercial priorities across key markets.
Partnerships and growth
Before joining Janssen as senior vice-president, he held senior leadership roles at Borealis and Borouge, and is said to have established a strong track record of strengthening customer partnerships, driving commercial growth and expanding both companies’ global market presence.
“I would like to thank Stefan for his leadership and the contribution he has made to Borouge International during an important period for the company,” said chief executive officer Roger Kearns.
“We wish him every success in his new role. Roland’s appointment reflects the depth of talent across our organisation and our confidence in the future.
“As we continue building Borouge International, he will help build on our momentum, advance our strategic priorities and create long-term value for our shareholders.”
‘Building on the strong foundation’
Janssen said: “I am excited to take on this role at an important point in Borouge International’s journey and look forward to building on the strong foundation established by our teams.
“Having spent over a decade at both Borealis and Borouge and having worked across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, I have a deep understanding of the business, markets, customers and the complementary capabilities we are able to bring together as one company.
“As we continue into this next phase of our growth, my focus will be on staying close to our customers and advancing our commercial priorities to realise the opportunities enabled by our expanded global platform.”
In April 2026, Borouge and Borealis combined to form Borouge International and agreed to acquire Nova Chemicals.
