Tenneco has appointed Denise Gray to its board of directors effective 1 March.
Additionally, she will be a founding member, along with several current Tenneco board members, of the board of directors for the new Tenneco powertrain technology company, which will emerge later this year out of the supplier’s acquisition of Federal-Mogul in 2018 and the subsequent separation into two new publicly traded companies.
