With such strong leadership and Standard Fiber’s ability to quickly respond to marketplace challenges, I am eager to put my skills to work and jump in to help the team drive their sales and merchandising initiatives.”

Davis will be based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and travel to support the Standard Fiber team and connect with key customers.
