Ball names new CEO, other leadership changes
Written by Stephanie Ritenbaugh
Ball Corp. has named Ronald Lewis as CEO and a member of the board of directors, effective immediately. Lewis succeeds Daniel Fisher, who is stepping down from his role.
Ball said the change is “not related to any disagreement with the company.”
Stuart Taylor II, Ball’s lead independent director, has been elected board chairman.
“On behalf of the board, I’d like to thank Dan Fisher for his leadership and many contributions to Ball through the years,” Taylor said in a statement. “Dan has helped guide the company through challenging external conditions, and today Ball is well-positioned to achieve its 2025 objectives.”
“Looking ahead, we are confident that Ron is the right leader to advance Ball’s strategy, and strengthen our culture and market leadership,” Taylor continued. “With his strategic vision, commitment to operational excellence, deep understanding of Ball’s business and strong customer relationships, Ball will continue to grow and deliver value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”
Lewis has served as Ball’s chief supply chain and operations officer since 2024, overseeing the company’s global manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, engineering and operational excellence functions across its global network. He joined Ball in 2019 as president of the Europe, Middle East and Asia beverage business.
Before joining Ball, Lewis was chief supply chain officer at Coca-Cola EuroPacific Partners and held several senior leadership roles in the Coca-Cola system. Earlier in his career, he held various supply chain, procurement, trading and risk management roles at Mars Incorporated and Cargill.
The Colorado-based packaging company also announced the appointment of Daniel Rabbitt as chief financial officer. Rabbitt has served as interim CFO since May
