WCP Solutions announced the Oct. 1 promotion of Amy Swanson to Chief Operating Officer (COO). Since her start with the company in 1999, Swanson's knowledge and insight has had a positive impact on the company's success.
After graduating from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Swanson started her accounting career at Weyerhaeuser Company and now has 21 years of experience in the paper and packaging industry.

WCP's CEO, Tom Groves says, "We are fortunate to have a very exceptional person to oversee this critical area in our company.

"I am incredibly proud of the work Amy has done for WCP over the years and thrilled with her promotion," says Teresa Russell, 3rd generation owner and board chairperson. "A key to Amy's success, beyond her grasp of finances and operations, is her fit within and leadership of our culture in which individual and team contributions are highly valued as we provide exceptional sales and service to customers." Amy Swanson, alongside other members of the executive team, will lead WCP Solutions as they continue to dominate the paper and packaging industry in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Northern California.
