Emily Tipaldo, who has served as the U.S. Pact’s first Executive Director, will remain temporarily as a strategic advisor to assist with the transition. Board Chair Holli Alexander celebrated Tipaldo’s exceptional leadership and dedication, which has positioned the organization as a cornerstone of sustainable innovation in the plastics industry. She also expressed confidence in the future under Jonathan Quinn’s leadership:
“Emily has been instrumental in shaping the U.S. Plastics Pact into a leading force for sustainable innovation in the plastic packaging industry. Her dedication and expertise have laid a solid foundation for the future. As we welcome Jonathan Quinn as our new CEO, we are excited to build on this momentum. Jonathan’s extensive experience in plastic packaging, sustainability, and market development will be invaluable as we continue to advance our goals and engage more stakeholders in our vision for a circular economy.”
