I officially started my new role with AAC a Veritiv Co on February 1, 2019. My responsibilities cover all aspects of our newly acquired rigid packaging business (customer service, operations, and sales) in five locations across the West, which include Kalama, WA; Santa Rosa, CA; San Leandro, CA; Simi Valley, CA; Dallas TX, and Houston, TX. Really Looking forward to what the future holds. We have to get back to the basics with our strategy. Building a culture around Veritiv’s values while focusing on Operational Excellence being our primary focus for 2019. This strategy will of course, tie right into helping with our working capital goals. From there we need to right size our stocking programs and really throttle the custom side of our business. Opportunities are limitless at this time, from market share to emerging markets, to cross selling with Veritiv’s current sales professionals. Bottom line, I am ecstatic with what the future holds with this acquisition and new role.
