Pixelle Specialty Solutions Board of Directors Appoints Julie Schertell as CEO

The Board of Directors for Pixelle Specialty Solutions (“Pixelle” or “the Company”) announced the appointment of Julie Schertell as CEO of Pixelle. Ms. Schertell succeeds Ross Bushnell, who has stepped down as CEO to pursue new opportunities.

 

Schertell is a leader in the specialty materials industry, known for driving transformational change that empowers employees and delights customers. With more than 30 years of operational and commercial experience, she has successfully built high-performing teams, executed large-scale change initiatives, and increased customer satisfaction. During her time as President and CEO of both Mativ Holdings and Neenah Inc., she repositioned each company for accelerated growth and improved profitability.

 

The Board would like to thank Ross for his leadership during his tenure as CEO as he oversaw the successful sale of the Stevens Point, WI mill and led the business through the difficult decision to close the Chillicothe, OH facility. Ross will remain with Pixelle through September to serve as an advisor to Pixelle’s board and ensure a smooth leadership transition.

 

“Pixelle has a strong core business, with unique capabilities and a talented team,” said Julie Schertell, CEO of Pixelle Specialty Solutions. “As we enter this new chapter, I am excited to lead the company forward by investing in our Spring Grove site and strengthening customer relationships through innovation, supply chain programs, and exceptional products, service, and quality.”

 

Pixelle has taken a number of actions to reposition the company, focus the portfolio, and invest for the future, including new efforts in our Spring Grove site that will improve productivity, cost, and quality. Pixelle remains committed to putting the needs of its customers and employees first.
