The Packaging Forum welcomed its new CEO Craig Miller, who started with the organisation in September.
Craig has relocated with his family back home to New Zealand from Singapore, where he worked in a Senior R&D Manager role for FrieslandCampina, across the Asia Region for the last 6 years.
Craig brings extensive global experience across FMCG, dairy, health and wellness, and packaging sectors; and has a strong background in developing and leading sustainability strategies and circular economy pilots via industry ecosystem collaborations – all of which will help expand the Forum’s voluntary product stewardship schemes, and other programmes. Previous other companies Craig has worked for include Fonterra, Mars, Manuka Health Ltd and Goodman Fielder- where he collaborated with The Packaging Forum in the early days of the Soft Plastic Recycling Scheme, so it is good to see the full circle with Craig coming on board to lead the Forum.
Craig is passionate and motivated by the chance to play a part in helping New Zealand on it’s path towards a circular economy, and to help improve sustainability for Kiwi Organizations in the face of one of the most important threats to all of our livelihoods – climate change. He believes by being part of this organisation and as members, we are already making a solid commitment toward addressing this challenge both now and for future generations.
Craig’s had a busy first few months since starting with the Forum and is excited to be coming into the Packaging Forum at a critical junction; with fresh eyes and an outside in perspective, to help rechart our strategy for the coming years and maximise value to members.
