Alexandra Chauvigné appointed CEO
Co-founder Tim Eaves retains his position as Chairman of the Board of Management and becomes Chief Impact Officer.
International beauty packaging manufacturer and supplier Quadpack is proud to announce that Alexandra Chauvigné has been appointed Managing Director, effective September 1, 2022. Alexandra Chauvigné succeeds co-founder Tim Eaves, who will retain his position as Chairman of Quadpack's Management Board. This decision is in line with good governance practice, with the separation of the roles of CEO and Chairman of the Management Board to improve transparency and accountability, and allows Tim Eaves to devote more time to social and environmental sustainability initiatives in the newly created position of Chief Impact Officer.
Alexandra Chauvigné brings over 25 years of leadership experience and a strong background in the packaging industry. She previously held the position of General Manager of Consumer Packaging, a business unit of DS Smith, a global supplier of sustainable paperboard solutions. Prior to this, she held various management positions at Aptar, a global leader in distribution packaging solutions. From 2018 to 2020, she held the position of Vice President and General Manager of the skin care and color cosmetics business unit, and from 2011 to 2017 that of President of Global Market Development for the beauty sector. Throughout her career, she has fervently focused on profitable business growth, the commercialization of innovative solutions and the development of strong relationships with customers and partners.
Alexandra Chauvigné holds a master's degree in materials science and engineering from Insa, and has taken part in executive leadership programs at HEC, Mit and Insead.
She declared: " I'm extremely happy to be joining Quadpack and grateful for the trust placed in me by Tim and the Board of Management. We're having an exciting time working alongside motivated and talented teams with strong skills and solid values. I look forward to taking the company to the next level and continuing to generate a positive impact on our environment. "
Tim Eaves founded the company in 2003, when his Belcos business merged with Lenglart Packaging and Gadbrook Packaging. Quadpack has grown from a trading company to a multinational manufacturer serving the world's leading beauty brands. Under Tim Eaves' leadership, Quadpack has become one of Europe's top 5 packaging suppliers, with over 800 employees, 35,000 m2 of production facilities and two regional distribution hubs. Tim Eaves' focus on sustainable transformation led to the company achieving B Corp certification earlier this year, a gratifying achievement in the run-up to Quadpack's 20th anniversary.
He said: " I'm proud of the legacy I'm leaving Quadpack. I am also very grateful to Quadpack's employees, partners and investors for helping us get to where we are today. In my new role, I will be able to focus on ESG initiatives, strategy and governance and ensure continuity while supporting Alexandra as CEO. I know that she is an exceptionally talented manager, highly respected in our industry and, above all, one who shares our values. She's exactly the right person to take Quadpack forward. "
