September 8, 2026, Cincinnati, OH — The ChemQuest Group, a leading advisory firm for the global specialty chemicals and advanced materials markets, today announced the strategic appointment of Sabina Chatterjee to the firm’s leadership team as executive vice president. Based in New York City, Chatterjee will be responsible for driving growth in the Business Strategy & Transformation and M&A Advisory pillars at ChemQuest.
A seasoned finance executive who has followed the chemicals industry for 20 years, Chatterjee brings strong expertise in capital markets, transactional advisory, and strategic positioning, along with a deep appreciation for the industry’s sub-sectors. In this leadership role, she will work closely with Chairman Daniel Murad and CEO Robert Lovegrove to fuel the firm’s expansion in advisory services, bridging financial acumen with operational expertise to deliver integrated value to private equity firms, strategics, and founder-owned businesses alike.
“I’ve known Sabina for decades — she is an industry veteran with established relationships, and I’m thrilled to welcome her to our executive team during this next phase of accelerated growth,” Murad said. “Her accomplished background provides a sophisticated financial lens to complement our core consulting strengths. As I think back over the 2,000+ assignments and 200+ successful deals we’ve supported, I’m excited to see how Sabina will contribute in building the M&A advisory engine for our next chapter.”
“ChemQuest has an impressive track record in the chemical industry, and I’m excited to join at this inflection point,” said Chatterjee. “Today’s dealmaking demands that strategic advice be supported by a deep understanding of chemical formulations — a foundation that is unique to this organization. I look forward to complementing this technical powerhouse with my banking experience to enhance our services and deliver an end-to-end product for our clients.”
Prior to joining ChemQuest, Chatterjee served as managing director in Investment Banking at Wells Fargo, where she spent 15 years across roles that also spanned equity research and sustainable finance.
