Amcor plc is removing the interim label from CEO Peter Konieczny's title, naming him as the permanent leader of the global plastic packaging company.
Konieczny, previously chief commercial officer, took up the CEO slot in April after former CEO Ron Delia retired due to health reasons.
"Peter has demonstrated exceptional leadership in every role he has held during his career at Amcor, including as Interim CEO where he has led the company through a period of strengthening financial performance and set the business up for further progress," Chairman Graeme Liebelt said in a statement. "The board and I are confident Peter is the right person to lead Amcor," he said.
Amcor did not look far for Delia's successor as Konieczny has been a member of the Amcor global management team since 2010, most recently serving as chief commercial officer from September 2020 until his CEO appointment. Amcor lists other leadership positions for him dating back to 2010. He previously was president of Silgan White Cap, a global plastics and metal closures company.
