Coveris appoints interim CEO

Coveris said Panayotopoulos has had a very distinguished career, including 37 years at Procter & Gamble, where he led multiple businesses and served as vice chairman. During his time there, he gained knowledge of best business practices across multiple geographies such as the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Egypt, China and the US, and many different categories. His acute knowledge of the fast-moving consumer goods market will prove invaluable in driving continued growth and commercial success at Coveris.

He succeeds Dave Mezzanotte, who is to retire and will assist in a transition period.

‘The Coveris Board would like to thank Dave for his many contributions to helping Coveris better serve the needs of our valued customers over the past four years,’ Coveris said in a statement.
