The U.S. Plastics Pact announced it has appointed Jonathan Quinn as its new CEO, effective immediately. Emily Tipaldo, who has served as the U.S. Pact’s first executive director, will remain temporarily as a strategic advisor to assist with the transition.
Quinn brings more than 15 years of industry knowledge and experience to the U.S. Pact, most recently as global VP of marketing and sustainability for the API Group. His lifelong passion for and leadership in plastic packaging, paired with his strong belief in a circular economy, make him ideally suited to lead the U.S. Plastics Pact.
“I am honored to join the U.S. Plastics Pact as CEO,” Quinn said. “This is a pivotal moment for our industry, and I am eager to work with our diverse consortium of businesses and organizations to accelerate our progress toward a circular economy for plastics. Together, we will continue to drive impactful change, innovate sustainable solutions and inspire action across the entire value chain.”
Based in Walpole, N.H., the U.S. Plastics Pact is a consortium with over 130 member organizations that include businesses, not-for-profit organizations, research institutions, government agencies and other partners working towards a circular economy.
