Georgia-Pacific announced a series of changes to its executive leadership structure, with new appointments in communications, public affairs and sustainability as part of its organizational continuity strategy.
Effective immediately, the company appointed John Mulcahy as senior vice president of communications, public affairs and donor relations. He assumes the role following more than 30 years within the organization, where he has held positions related to customer relations, category management, strategy, supply chain and sustainability.
Mulcahy joined the company in 1987 and most recently served as vice president of responsible management, leading initiatives focused on developing and implementing sustainability strategies, promoting responsible forestry practices and driving improvements in corporate environmental performance.
The appointment comes as Sheila Weidman prepares to officially retire on June 5 after 38 years with the company. Throughout her career, she held multiple leadership positions of increasing responsibility and was a member of Georgia-Pacific’s executive leadership team for more than two decades.
As part of the reorganization, David Brabham was appointed vice president of the responsible management division. He brings more than a decade of experience in sustainability, corporate policy and responsible resource management within the company.
Before this appointment, Brabham served as senior director of customer relations and responsible management for the company’s pulp, packaging board, recycling and pine solutions divisions, building extensive expertise in environmental strategy and sustainable resource stewardship.
Through these leadership changes, Georgia-Pacific aims to strengthen its strategic direction in key operational areas as it enters a new phase of corporate development.
