SENIOR LEADERSHIP CHANGES
(ALPHARETTA, GA) July 5, 2016 -
Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. (NYSE: SWM), announced today
Daniel ("Dano") Lister joined SWM as Executive Vice President,
Advanced Materials & Structures (AMS), reporting to Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer Frédéric Villoutreix. Don Meltzer, who
previously held this position, will continue to provide support to
AMS for strategic initiatives as head of AMS Strategy in connection
with this transition.
In this role, Mr. Lister will
assume day-to-day operations and leadership of the AMS business
unit. Dano is an accomplished global business leader, with broad
experience in the packaging, chemical and lubricant industries. He
brings tremendous operational, sales and marketing, and business
development experience, working in the Americas, Europe, Middle
East, Africa and Asia/Pacific. Most recently, Dano served as
the Division President, Flexible Products and Services at Greif,
Inc., a world leader in industrial packaging products and services
for a wide range of industries. Dano joined Greif in 2005 as a Vice
President and General Manager, managing a $300 million business
unit, and progressed repeatedly during his tenure, holding numerous
leadership roles. Prior to his work with Greif, Dano worked for
several years with Dow Chemical, serving in business development
roles and, ultimately, as President of Dow BioProducts.
SWM Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer Frédéric Villoutreix commented, "We thank Don for his many
contributions in developing our Advanced Materials & Structures
platform. His guidance has been instrumental in forging a solid
foundation for an integrated AMS segment. As we continue to pursue
our growth agenda, we are excited to add Dano to our executive
team. His track record managing growth-oriented businesses,
focusing on customers, and building high-performing teams aligns
well with SWM's growth objectives and culture. With these
appointments, AMS is well-positioned to meet the increasing demands
of the diverse end-segments we serve, and I look forward to
accelerated progress towards our AMS growth objectives."
