SanMar Corporation names Paul Whyatt as the company's chief financial officer.
ISSAQUAH, Wash.-SanMar Corporation names Paul Whyatt as the company’s chief financial officer. Whyatt’s appointment comes as preparation for Marty Rask, vice president of finance’s retirement at the end of 2017.
“Paul’s deep experience in strategic finance and planning will be an asset to our team,” says Jeremy Lott, president of SanMar. “He has the right mix of business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to help drive our evolution as a family-owned company nearing our 50-year mark.”
Whyatt comes to the role with more than 20 years of senior finance and operations experience at the Weyerhauser corporation. He joins SanMar from Merrill and Ring Forest Products, a family-owned forestry company where he served as the chief financial officer. Whyatt also managed finance and operations for numerous Seattle-area start-up companies.
“The SanMar family values really stood out to me as something special about the company,” says Whyatt. “I’m excited to be a part of this fantastic organization and look forward to making a smooth transition from Marty, before he retires.”
The news comes as the latest in a series of top-level appointments in 2017 for SanMar. The company announced multiple changes to its brand management team earlier this summer.
