Olin Corporation has announced the appointment of retired General Edward M. Daly to its Board of Directors, effective March 5, 2025. General Daly brings with him over 36 years of military experience, primarily in defense procurement and logistics management.

General Daly concluded his tenure with the U.S. Army in May 2023, leaving behind a legacy that includes leadership of the U.S. Army Materiel Command as its 20th Commanding General. His role saw him managing a vast workforce of 190,000 personnel globally, overseeing a substantial budget of over $50 billion.

Post-retirement, Daly has taken an entrepreneurial route by founding Virtus 9, a startup aimed at bolstering U.S. national security. His significant experience has also led him to consulting roles and board positions at several companies, including SkyWater Technology and Zensights LLC.

His unique distinction as the only Logistics 4-Star General to graduate from West Point since its establishment in 1802 adds to his remarkable credentials.

Daly expressed enthusiasm for joining Olin, driven by his affinity for the company and the chance to continue serving the mission geared towards military personnel and warfighters. He commented on the dual appeal of aligning with the Winchester brand and contributing his insights into the company's strategic direction.
