  • Identify new business opportunities, emerging markets, and high-growth categories within the packaging sector.
Strategy and Innovation
  • Partner with Operations, R&D, and Engineering to develop innovative packaging solutions, including structural design, graphics, sustainability, and value-engineering initiatives.
  • Guide marketing efforts focused on brand positioning, digital presence, customer messaging, and trade-show/industry-event strategy.
  • Analyze market trends, competitive intelligence, and customer insights to steer product and service differentiation.
Team Leadership and Development 
  • Recruit, develop, and retain top commercial talent with strong industry backgrounds.
  • Implement performance management, incentive plans, and sales-training initiatives.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and customer obsession.
Financial and Operational Collaboration 
  • Develop accurate sales forecasts, pricing strategies, and commercial budgets.
  • Work closely with the Executive Team to ensure operational readiness for new product launches, volume ramps, and large-scale customer transitions.
  • Support capital-investment decisions with customer-driven business cases and ROI models.

Qualifications:
  • 10+ years of progressive commercial leadership in the packaging industry, preferably paperboard, or related packaging formats.
  • Demonstrated success managing and growing key accounts within Fortune 100 companies.
  • Strong understanding of paperboard packaging manufacturing processes (litho, digital, and flexo printing, die-cutting, gluing, sustainability trends, etc.).
  • Proven ability to lead commercial teams and manage multimillion-dollar customer portfolios.
  • Exceptional contract negotiation, communication, and executive-level presentation skills.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing or related field; MBA preferred.

Personal Attributes:   
  • Highly strategic, with the ability to balance long-term planning and near-term execution.
