Amcor Names Stephen Scherger EVP, CFO

Amcor announces the appointment of Stephen R. Scherger as EVP and CFO, effective Nov. 10, 2025. Scherger succeeds Michael Casamento, who after 10 years as Amcor’s CFO, has decided to return home to Australia to be closer to his family on a full-time basis and will leave the company as a result.

Scherger brings more than 30 years of finance, operations and strategy experience in the packaging industry. Most recently, he served as EVP and CFO of Graphic Packaging since 2015, where he played a leading role in transforming Graphic Packaging into the world’s largest producer of fiber-based packaging, including supporting the integration and synergy realization for a number of large-scale acquisitions.

During his tenure, Graphic Packaging’s net sales more than doubled to nearly $9 billion and net income nearly tripled.

“On behalf of the board, I’m pleased to welcome Steve to the Amcor team,” says Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny. “His deep industry experience, unique understanding of the U.S. and global packaging markets and team-oriented leadership style make him a natural fit for Amcor. His proven track record of enhancing growth and profitability at lean, global businesses will further enhance Amcor’s ability to deliver near- and long-term value for customers and shareholders.”

“It is a privilege to join Amcor as CFO,” adds Scherger. “Amcor has established itself as a global leader and innovator in the packaging industry, especially after the Berry Global acquisition.”

“On behalf of the Amcor team, I’d like to thank Michael for more than a decade of service, which concludes with Amcor being better positioned than ever following our successful combination with Berry Global,” Konieczny notes. “His contributions and leadership have been outstanding and he has played a significant role in laying the foundation for years of success. We wish him all the best as he returns to Australia.”
