Executive Overview

For more than a century, glass has been the packaging choice to elevate life's moments of enjoyment for people around the world. As CEO of O-I Glass, Inc., I’m passionate about bringing glass to more people, on more occasions, and in more places. With three decades of leadership experience and nearly a decade on O-I’s board of directors, I have a deep understanding of O-I’s business, operations, and culture. I’m delighted to lead O-I’s transformation that will create more opportunities for O-I and our stakeholders by driving exceptional business performance. My leadership philosophy is grounded in: - Creating a safe environment for employees - Transparent communication that empowers people to be productive and entrepreneurial - Building leadership at all levels of an organization My leadership journey spans over 35 years in the packaged food and beverage industry. I am inspired and engaged by discussions on safety, executive leadership, employee culture, value centric decision-making, operational effectiveness, sustainability, and team dynamics -- and I often post on these topics.
