Amcor Names Graham Chipchase to Board of Directors

Amcor plc announced that Graham Chipchase has been nominated as a non-executive director for election at the company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Nov. 6, 2024.

Chipchase is CEO of Brambles Limited, a leading supply-chain logistics company operating in more than 60 countries, a position he has held since 2017. From 2010 to 2016,  Chipchase was CEO of Rexam plc, at that time one of the world’s largest consumer packaging companies with operations in more than 25 countries.

He joined Rexam as group finance director in 2003 before being promoted to group director of plastics packaging prior to his appointment as CEO in 2010.

Before joining Rexam, Chipchase held finance leadership roles at several leading global companies. He was a non-executive director of AstraZeneca plc from 2012 to 2021, including serving as chair of the Remuneration Committee.

The board believes Mr. Chipchase’s demonstrated leadership experience, including with a global packaging company, and his strong strategic development and finance background with companies supporting the fast moving consumer goods industry, will complement the Board’s existing skill set and provide valuable knowledge and perspectives.

Amcor also announced that Karen Guerra will retire from the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting after many years of dedicated and highly valued service to the Board and the company. Guerra’s fellow directors thank her for sharing considerable expertise and insights and recognize the significant contribution she has made during her tenure.
