Moreover, his commitment to sustainability and innovation, which we view as core tenets of our growth strategy, has been unwavering," said Mr. Kayser. "Leading Pretium has been a great privilege, and I am honored to have been part of its management team for the past eight years. As I contemplated retirement and evaluated options for a successor, Adam was the first person that came to mind. I am confident that under his leadership, Pretium is positioned to accelerate its growth and improve upon its already strong foundation in customer service, operations, sustainability, and innovation. I look forward to collaborating with him to ensure a smooth transition for all our stakeholders and continuing to contribute to Pretium's success as an advisor."

Mr. Doane has over 15 years of experience leading packaging organizations, including in his most recent position as Pretium's Senior Vice President of Sustainability and Innovation ahead of assuming the role of COO.
