Amcor has announced the appointment of Stephen R. Scherger as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective Nov. 10, 2025. Scherger succeeds Michael Casamento, who after ten years as Amcor’s Chief Financial Officer has decided to return home to Australia to be closer to his family on a full-time basis and will leave the company as a result. Casamento will remain as an advisor to the company until June 30, 2026, to help support a smooth transition.
Scherger brings more than 30 years of finance, operations and strategy experience in the packaging industry. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Graphic Packaging since 2015, where he played a leading role in transforming Graphic Packaging into the world’s largest producer of fiber-based packaging, including supporting the integration and synergy realization for a number of large-scale acquisitions. During his tenure, Graphic Packaging’s net sales more than doubled to nearly $9 billion and net income nearly tripled.
Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny commented, “On behalf of the Board, I’m pleased to welcome Steve to the Amcor team. His deep industry experience, unique understanding of the U.S. and global packaging markets and team-oriented leadership style make him a natural fit for Amcor. His proven track record of enhancing growth and profitability at lean, global businesses will further enhance Amcor’s ability to deliver near- and long-term value for customers and shareholders.”
“It is a privilege to join Amcor as CFO,” commented Scherger. “Amcor has established itself as a global leader and innovator in the packaging industry, especially after the Berry Global acquisition. I am honored and excited to join the team at this time and contribute to delivering the ongoing integration commitments, the identified portfolio optimization and driving long-term organic growth.”
Konieczny continued, “On behalf of the Amcor team, I’d like to thank Michael for more than a decade of service, which concludes with Amcor being better positioned than ever following our successful combination with Berry Global. His contributions and leadership have been outstanding and he has played a significant role in laying the foundation for years of success. We wish him all the best as he returns to Australia.”
