SMI to lose CFO and COO next month

Schweitzer-Mauduit International said yesterday that its executive vice president, CFO and treasurer Jeffrey A. Cook would retire on April 3, while its COO Stephen Dunmead would resign from the company on April 15, according to a Thomson Reuters story relayed by the TMA.

The company said Bob Cardin, the company’s controller, would assume the role of acting CFO and report to CEO Frederic Villoutreix until a permanent replacement was found for Cook.

There were no immediate plans to replace Dunmead, whose responsibilities would be assumed by Villoutreix.

“I am very appreciative of the contributions made by Mr. Cook and Mr. Dunmead during their respective tenures at SWM and wish them well in their future endeavors,” said Villoutreix.
