Christian Fischer Named Georgia-Pacific CEO

Koch Industries has named Jim Hannan executive vice president and CEO – Enterprises, and Brad Razook executive vice president and CEO – Resources. Both are newly created leadership positions. Hannan has served as president and CEO of Koch subsidiary Georgia-Pacific since 2007, while Razook has served as president and CEO of Flint Hills Resources since 2005.

In his new role, Hannan will oversee Georgia-Pacific, INVISTA, Molex and Guardian, as well as Koch’s recently acquired interest in Infor. Razook will oversee Flint Hills Resources, Koch Pipeline, Koch Ag & Energy Solutions (including Matador Cattle), and Koch Minerals (including Koch Supply & Trading). Both Hannan and Razook will be responsible for driving improvements and advances in their respective businesses, including the application of technology, software and data analytics. They will continue to report to Dave Robertson, president and COO of Koch Industries.

"Jim and Brad have done an outstanding job with their respective companies," said Charles Koch, chairman of the board and CEO of Koch Industries. "I have high expectations for them as they help lead us into the new and different future that all businesses will be facing."

Succeeding Hannan as president and CEO of Georgia-Pacific is Christian Fischer. Fischer joined Georgia-Pacific in 1989, and has served in many leadership roles within that company, including executive vice president of the packaging and cellulose segment, a role he has held since 2007.
