Edward D. Breen
Edward D. Breen (born c. 1956)[1] is an American business executive. He was named the CEO of DuPont on November 9, 2015.[1] He also serves as a director of Comcast.[2] Prior to his role at DuPont, Breen was the Chairman and CEO of Tyco International.[3]

In March 2016 it was reported that Dow Chemical Co. and the DuPont Co. agreed to pay $27 million to DuPont CEO Edward Breen leaves the company by early 2017.[6]
