From 1 January 2026, Arne Jost, Mike Jefferson, and Liz Morrish will form a new leadership team, building on the strong foundations and collaborative spirit established under Graham’s direction. Together, they bring more than 90 years of experience in packaging, circularity, and sustainability.
The CEFLEX steering committee, representing each part of the value chain, oversaw the selection process and shortlisting of candidates before making the appointments:
- Arne Jost, currently at Henkel, and previously a CEFLEX Steering Committee member, will lead Policy and External Affairs Management, focusing on strategic partnerships and external representation.
- Mike Jefferson, already part of the CEFLEX team, will head Circular Economy Implementation, driving the initiative’s progress on EPR, recycling, sorting and collection.
- Liz Morrish, already part of the CEFLEX team, will oversee Operations, as well as continuing to lead CEFLEX’s technical work on packaging design and end markets.
