Background
Thomas P. Wozniak served as Treasurer of Cytec Industries Inc., a NYSE-listed specialty chemicals and advanced-materials company (ticker: CYT) that was spun off from American Cyanamid as an independent company in December 1993 and headquartered in Woodland Park (formerly West Paterson), New Jersey. As Treasurer, Wozniak was the corporate officer responsible for the company's treasury function — capital markets activity, financing, liquidity, and banking relationships. His name appears on Cytec's debt documentation; for example, he executed amendments to the company's Five-Year Term Loan Agreement on behalf of Cytec in his capacity as Treasurer.
His tenure as Treasurer ran through the late 2000s and into the early 2010s. Public insider-transaction records show him as a reporting officer of Cytec — for instance, he sold 4,000 shares of CYT common stock on August 2, 2010 at an average price of about $51.85, after which he continued to hold roughly 19,644 shares, consistent with a long-serving executive accumulating equity over many years.
On December 11, 2012, Cytec Industries announced Wozniak's retirement as Treasurer. The announcement came amid a major portfolio reshaping at Cytec: the company was selling its Coating Resins business to Advent International (a deal expected to close in the first quarter of 2013). Wozniak agreed to stay on through the closing of that sale and for a transition period afterward to hand off responsibilities. He was succeeded as Treasurer and corporate officer by Jeffery Fitzgerald (effective January 1, 2013), who had previously been Cytec's Corporate Controller; Raymond Heslin became the new Corporate Controller at the same time.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- No stated investment thesis exists in the public record. Wozniak's professional role was corporate treasury/finance, not third-party investing.
- There is no evidence that he operates as a seed-stage, angel, or institutional venture investor, makes startup checks, or has a sector/stage focus as an allocator.
- The only securities activity documented for him is insider equity in his own employer (Cytec / CYT) — i.e., executive stock holdings and routine officer transactions, not portfolio investing.
Notable Investments
- No venture, angel, or fund investments could be verified. The "Seed Round" framing in the source stub is unsupported.
- The only documented securities activity is insider trading in Cytec Industries (CYT) as a company officer — e.g., a reported sale of 4,000 CYT shares on August 2, 2010 (~$51.85/share), with continued holdings of ~19,644 shares afterward. These are employee/officer equity transactions, not investments in external companies.
