Halifax, Nova Scotia, April 21, 2026 — CarbonCure Technologies, the most widely deployed CO₂ utilization solution for cement efficiency and reduced emissions in concrete production, today announced the appointment of Yuliya Kravtsov as Chief Executive Officer. 

Kravtsov is a recognized leader in the cement and concrete industry with more than two decades of transformational executive experience.

Her career also includes senior leadership roles at cement majors Lafarge and Holcim, in addition to positions at Boston Consulting Group and Discover Financial. 

"I'm very excited and proud to lead CarbonCure,” said Kravtsov. “This talented team has built an exceptional foundation: an innovative, drop-in technology, a business model rooted in producer profitability, rock solid customer relationships, deployment in hundreds of plants, and more than 10 million concrete truckloads, all serving as proof points of industry validation and value.” 

Throughout her career, Kravtsov has distinguished herself in leading large, cross-functional teams through organizational transformation, executing complex M&A strategies, improving profitability, and scaling new business units.

"I’m looking forward to working side-by-side with Yuliya to integrate her fresh perspective into our long-term strategy,” Kaye said. “Her building materials expertise and experience scaling high-growth divisions will be invaluable as we build on the company's success to date, continue to foster our high-performing team, and deliver value to our customers." 

"Having seen Yuliya turn strategy into results, I have full confidence in her ability to lead CarbonCure's next phase,” added the company’s Board Vice Chair, Onne van der Weijde. “She is a proven operator who understands the intricacies of the cement and concrete industry from the ground up. Yuliya's talent for executing at scale will position CarbonCure for accelerated growth, expanding its strong market leadership."
