Ed Breen has orchestrated some of the biggest changes in DuPont’s history, including its short marriage with Dow and more recently its refocusing for industries of the future, such as semiconductors, electric vehicles and telecommunications. Now in his second stint as CEO of Delaware’s most famous company, Breen oversees thousands of state employees at research and manufacturing sites. DuPont remains committed to the First State, investing nearly $100 million at two new manufacturing sites aimed at the growing semiconductor industry in the past year. Breen made a big splash at the beginning of 2024, where he announced he would step down as CEO of DuPont in the middle of the year. He also would aid the DuPont board of directors with dividing the company into three, separate and publicly traded companies by June 2026.
