William J. Kroll
Chairman

Bill Kroll has been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for MATHESON since 2004. Bill Kroll's experience spans more than 30 years and includes executive management in almost every area of business, including fifteen years of service to MATHESON in two tenures (1986-1994 and 2001-present).

During his hiatus from MATHESON, Kroll served as Executive Vice President of Business Development at Emcore, where he was instrumental in taking that company public. He became a much sought after spokesperson for the technical community and was key in forming joint ventures, acquisitions and international distribution agreements. His more notable accomplishments were the formation of GELcore, the joint venture in solid-state lighting with General Electric Lighting; the joint venture with Uniroyal Technology Corp. in the formation of Uniroyal Optoelectronics, a maker of light emitting diode chips; and the joint venture with Union Miniere in the use of Germanium substrates for III-V devices. Kroll retired from Emcore in 2001.

Prior to his executive duties at MATHESON and Emcore, Mr. Kroll served as Vice President of Marketing for Machine Technology, Inc., a manufacturer of semiconductor equipment for photoresist applications, plasma CVD, and related equipment. Previous to this, Mr. Kroll was a general manager at BOC Gas and a Project Supervisor in Semiconductor Research for Bell Laboratories.

Kroll completed his undergraduate and graduate work at Northwestern University. He is an established author having penned more than 50 papers in the areas of physical and chemical vapor deposition for semiconductor technology and is a member of IEEE, SEMI, SPIE, SAE, The Electrochemical Society and MRS. He has served on the Boards of Princeton Photonics and Optoelectronics Materials Center, and currently serves on the boards of the CGA, AeA, IOMA, Circle of Life, MATHESON and Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation. Kroll was inducted into the New Jersey High Tech Hall of Fame in 2004, was named as one of the top 25 Entrepreneurs in New Jersey by NJ Biz in 2006, was appointed by the Governor of New Jersey to his Commission on Outsourcing and Off-shoring in 2007 and in October 2007 was awarded the Boy Scouts of America Distinguished Eagle Scout Award as well as being named lifetime member and Trustee of the Boy Scouts of America. Under Kroll's leadership, MATHESON was named Large Company of the Year by the New Jersey Technology Council in 2006.
