As the Company’s first CEO, Julie was instrumental in repositioning the portfolio and implementing cost and footprint reductions to help position Mativ for its next phase of growth. We wish Julie all the best in her future endeavors.”
Ms. Schertell said, “Leading the Mativ team throughout this transformative period has been incredibly rewarding, and I am very proud of all that the team has accomplished over the past few years. I believe Mativ is well-positioned to build on the momentum we have created.”
