NewPage President and CEO Rick Willett Resigns, Suwyn Steps in Temporarily

“While there is never a perfect time for a transition, Rick and I, along with the Board of Directors, have mutually agreed on this timing and feel that NewPage is well positioned for the future now that the acquisition of Stora Enso North America has been successfully integrated,” stated Suwyn. “Rick has made enormous contributions to NewPage over the past four years and we all wish him well in the future.”
