Ecolab Strengthens Board with Appointment of Supply Chain Veteran Marion Gross
SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 10, 2025 – Ecolab Inc., a global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions, has appointed Marion Gross, the former Executive Vice President and Global Chief Supply Chain Officer of McDonald’s Corporation, to its board of directors as an independent director. Effective May 7, 2025, Gross also joins the Compensation & Human Capital Management Committee and the Safety, Health & Environment Committee. Her election was confirmed during Ecolab’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Enhancing Strategic Oversight with Global Supply Chain Expertise
Gross brings decades of leadership in global logistics, sustainability, and operational management—skills that align closely with Ecolab’s mission and expanding international footprint.
“I am delighted to welcome an exceptional global leader of Marion’s experience and expertise to our board of directors,” said Christophe Beck, Ecolab chairman and chief executive officer. “Marion’s executive leadership at one of the world’s most recognized brands, her oversight of a global supply chain serving more than 40,000 restaurants around the world and her commitment to high performing teams will directly benefit the board’s strategic mission and decision making.
“Her extensive knowledge of global product supply, aiming at the highest standards of quality and safety, her experience in international trade and business resiliency will also be invaluable as we grow our business in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. We look forward to leveraging her strategic insight and vast leadership skills to create value for our customers, communities, and shareholders.”
Broadening the Board’s Industry Perspective
With a deep background in the foodservice sector and a career that includes executive responsibility across North American and global markets, Gross’s addition reflects Ecolab’s focus on aligning board leadership with emerging industry challenges and opportunities.
“We continue to refresh the board’s composition to ensure it reflects the full range of expertise and perspectives essential to support the company’s growth plans.

With her as a member of our board, we are better able to guide Ecolab’s growth strategy,” said Dave MacLennan, lead independent director for the Ecolab board.
A Proven Track Record in Resilient and Sustainable Operations
Gross retired in April 2025 after serving as EVP and Global Chief Supply Chain Officer at McDonald’s. She previously held senior positions including Senior Vice President, North America Supply Chain and U.S. Sustainability from 2013 to 2022, following various leadership roles from 2003 onward.
