David Mezzanotte named as interim Coveris CEO

David Mezzanotte is to act as interim CEO of Coveris following Gary Masse's decision to step down from the role, effective January 24.

David Mezzanotte has served as Coveris chairman since 2014

During Masse's tenure, Coveris demonstrated strong productivity growth, integrated eight acquisitions and invested aggressively to position the company for growth. Masse has decided the time is right to hand over Coveris to a new leader who can drive the next phase of growth.

The Coveris board of directors has initiated a search that will consider both external and internal candidates to permanently fill the position of CEO. In the interim, Mezzanotte will act as CEO. Mezzanotte knows the company well having served as Coveris chairman since 2014, and as managing director of Sun Capital Partners. Coveris is Sun Capital Partners’ largest portfolio company.

In a statement, the Coveris board said: ‘[We] thank Gary for his many contributions to helping Coveris better serve the needs of our valued customers.’
