Leadership Team

"Our purpose, Better Packaging. Better Life., means that when we do our job by making the best packaging in the world, we directly improve the lives of our employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, and communities. This vision drives our team to align our business strategy around our talented and diverse workforce to drive growth in parallel with achieving our sustainability goals."

“Sonoco’s global leadership team has a great opportunity to leverage our unique culture, dedicated talent and strong asset base to execute our strategy to focus our portfolio and improve performance through foundational improvement in operational and commercial execution.”

"I most enjoy visiting our Sonoco teammates across the globe, communicating the Sonoco mission individually and to teams, and asking for feedback to develop an understanding of what we can do to support our people’s efforts to grow and drive operational improvements in all aspects of our company."

"People Build Businesses. Those are not just words at Sonoco. It is our founding principle, and it is the secret of our success. Sonoco is an incredibly innovative Company. We’ve been around for almost 125 years, but we look very different today than we did even yesterday, and we continue to evolve every single day. The one constant in all of it is our people-first culture. It sets us apart and gives us a distinct competitive advantage, and it is the reason I love this Company."

"At Sonoco, I believe our people are our greatest asset. Success comes from fostering a strong, supportive community where individuals feel valued, empowered and authentic. This culture fuels innovation and sustainability, enabling us to meet today’s needs while anticipating tomorrow’s challenges. The purpose of business is to create customers by offering solutions that drive long-term success for all." 

“We’re guided by the principle that people build businesses by doing the right thing. We work at doing the right thing by providing the best consumer, industrial, healthcare and protective packaging solutions and our ‘Better Packaging. Better Life®’ promise. Sonoco provides integrative, sustainable packaging that helps define global brands, craft unique customer experiences and enhance quality and I’m incredibly proud to be part of that mission."

“Earning the right to serve our customers every single day is not just our responsibility—it’s our privilege. Through dedication, innovation and integrity, we strive to exceed expectations and create lasting value in every partnership.”

“I am humbled and excited to be part of Sonoco. I’m impressed with the company’s growth and look forward to furthering opportunities aligned with Sonoco’s vision, strategy and performance goals.” 

"I've had many different roles in my career, including the manufacturing floor. Seeing people thrive and be proud of where they work is incredibly rewarding. To see a colleague engaged simply because a manager asked for their opinion – a new sale, machine repair or new process – every voice and opinion matters at Sonoco and that makes us even more successful.”
