Sonoco today announced that Paul Joachimczyk has been named Chief Financial Officer, effective June 30, 2025.
“We are pleased to have Paul joining the Sonoco family. He is a highly accomplished financial executive with a proven track record of successfully leading financial functions for large multinational publicly traded corporations,” said Howard Coker, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During his career, Paul has worked across diverse manufacturing industries, and he is committed to working with our leadership team to drive long-term value for shareholders by ensuring sound financial management and strong operating initiatives.”
Joachimczyk previously was Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of American Woodmark Corporation, one of the nation’s largest cabinet manufacturers, based in Winchester, VA. Prior to joining American Woodmark, he was Vice President of Finance for TopBuild Corp., a construction services and distribution company based in Daytona Beach, FL, and held finance leadership positions with Stanley Black & Decker and General Electric’s Healthcare and Capital Markets divisions. He began his career with Ernst and Young LLP as a financial auditor. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in accounting from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and is a Certified Public Accountant.
Joachimczyk will replace Jerry Cheatham, who has served as Interim Chief Financial Officer since January 6, 2025, and will continue in that role through the filing of Sonoco’s second quarter Form 10-Q and assist Joachimczyk during the transition. Cheatham will then assume a senior finance leadership role with the Company.
“I want to thank Jerry for stepping in to lead our finance team during an important period in Sonoco’s transformation,” Coker said. “We look forward to Jerry and our experienced finance team working under Paul’s leadership to take the “New Sonoco” to the next level of achievement.”
