Martha Issa

Every day I work to create long-term shareholder value by driving environmental sustainability and economic benefit to our customers through the design, materials, packaging, and delivery of products and services of Veritiv’s offerings. My journey began when I applied my chemical engineering and marketing background as a packaging engineer in the consumer product goods (CPG) industry. Rapidly I advanced to product manager of household-name products in the Central American market. It became apparent that I was effective at building, cultivating, and leading highly successful teams that drove profit and market share, and I progressed into global strategy and senior leadership, where I serve today. Industry events planners often ask me to speak on a range of topics, including corporate sustainability, business development, ESG, CSR, environmental, packaging, facilities, reporting, marketing automation, customer analytics, pricing, distribution, and market intelligence. I am a purpose-driven leader and manager who nurtures talent and promotes a culture of collaboration and high engagement. My approach is highly collaborative and people-first, always with an eye to the future and winning, sustainable solutions.
