Maiden will be succeeded by former Meggitt chief financial officer Louisa Burdett following the group's full-year results on 13 March. Burdett served four years as Meggitt's CFO before it was acquired by Parker-Hannifin in September.
Prior to joining Meggitt, Burdett held CFO positions with Optos, the Financial Times, GE Healthcare, and CHEP. She is also a non-executive director at RS Group.
Croda chair Anita Frew said: "I am delighted that we have been able to appoint Louisa as group finance director. She has an exceptional ten-year track record as a CFO of listed companies, with valuable experience both in speciality chemicals and the broader manufacturing sector. We look forward to welcoming Louisa to Croda in the New Year."
