Packaging provider Miller Graphics Group has appointed Christian Schøyen as group president and CEO, effective 18 August.

Mr Schøyen brings more than 25 years of leadership experience, including 13 years as CEO. During his career, he has held senior positions at Tieto, IBM and PwC, and most recently has been active in entrepreneurial ventures.

Mr Schøyen commented: “Miller Graphics is a European market leader operating in a dynamic and evolving industry. I was immediately drawn to the opportunity to lead a company with such a strong heritage and brand. While recognising both the opportunities, challenges and complexities ahead, I look forward to working with the competent management team and wider organisation to drive growth, enhance profitability, and further strengthen Miller Graphics’ market position.”

Andreas Jensen, chairman of the Board of Miller Graphics Group, said the Board believes Mr Schøyen’s experience will support the company’s next phase of development. He also announced that outgoing group president Philippe Bataillie will remain with the business in an advisory role during the leadership transition.

Mr Jensen said: “We are delighted to welcome Christian to Miller Graphics Group. He brings extensive executive leadership experience across industries and geographies, including from international and decentralised organisations similar to ours. The Board looks forward to partnering with him to build on Miller’s strong foundation and take the company to the next level.”
