Tronox, a vertically integrated mining and inorganic chemicals company, has appointed Ginger Jones as the company’s new Class A Director and to serve on the audit committee.

Jones will replace Tronox’s senior vice president and chief financial officer Timothy Carlson, who temporarily filled the Class A Director position following Thomas Casey’s death. Casey was the company’s former chairman and CEO. 

"Ginger's experience, particularly her successes within global manufacturing companies, makes her a valuable addition to our board as we continue to navigate through opportunities for growth and expansion," Ilan Kaufthal, non-executive chairman of the board of directors, said. "We also value the knowledge, experience and financial acumen she brings to our audit committee."

Prior to her appointment as Class A Director, Jones was senior vice president and chief financial officer for Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. She also previously was CFO at Plexus Corp.

Jones, a certified public accountant, has both a master's in business administration from Ohio State University and a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Utah.
