Newell Brands appoints Guillermo Beade Chief Operating Officer to strengthen global operations. October 20, 2026 Guillermo Beade Newell Brands (NASDAQ: NWL), the global consumer goods company behind Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Coleman, Graco and Yankee Candle, has appointed Guillermo Beade as Chief Operating Officer, effective October 26, 2026, as the company works to improve coordination across its marketing, sales and supply chain operations. Beade will report directly to President and CEO Chris Peterson and join Newell Brands' Executive Committee. He brings more than 30 years of international consumer packaged goods experience, including senior leadership positions at SC Johnson, PepsiCo and Unilever. In the newly announced role, Beade will have enterprise-wide responsibility for Newell Brands' central marketing, sales and supply chain functions. His mandate includes strengthening coordination among those operations and developing the organizational structures, technology systems, processes and talent needed to improve efficiency across the company's global business. The appointment follows several years of operational restructuring at Newell Brands, including efforts to simplify its product portfolio, improve supply chain performance and refine its commercial operating model. "We have made meaningful progress over the past several years, simplifying our portfolio, improving our supply chain and go-to-market operating models, and investing in the front-end innovation and brand-building capabilities needed to compete in the marketplace," Peterson said. Peterson said the company's recent operational improvements create an opportunity to establish a more integrated organizational structure capable of supporting sustainable, profitable growth. Beade's appointment is intended to connect commercial planning more closely with operational execution, particularly across functions that influence product development, manufacturing, distribution and customer relationships. For a consumer goods company operating multiple brands across different product categories and international markets, coordination between marketing, sales and supply chain teams is essential to managing inventory, supporting product launches and responding to changes in consumer demand. Newell Brands' portfolio includes household products, writing instruments, outdoor equipment, baby products, appliances and commercial cleaning solutions. Each category has distinct customer requirements, distribution channels and operational considerations. Bringing central commercial and supply chain functions under a single executive creates a structure intended to improve consistency in planning and execution across those businesses. Beade joins Newell Brands after holding several senior executive positions at SC Johnson. Most recently, he served as President of SC Johnson Consumer Brands North America, overseeing one of the company's major business units. His responsibilities included managing commercial performance and operations across an established portfolio of consumer products. Before that role, he was CEO of SC Johnson Lifestyle Brands, where he led an operational and organizational transformation involving a portfolio of acquired brands. That experience is relevant to Newell Brands' ongoing efforts to simplify operations while managing a diverse collection of established consumer brands. Earlier in his career, Beade held senior commercial and general management positions at PepsiCo. He began his professional career at Unilever in Latin America. Across these organizations, he has managed multibillion-dollar businesses in North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. His international background includes overseeing commercial strategies, operational performance and organizational changes across markets with different consumer preferences, retail structures and supply chain requirements. At Newell Brands, Beade will focus on improving how the company's central functions operate together, with particular attention to the systems and processes supporting execution across the enterprise. "Newell Brands has an exceptional portfolio of brands and the commercial and supply chain capabilities to compete and win," Beade said. "My focus will be on ensuring we scale these functions to work together with speed and agility." The appointment places operational integration at the center of Newell Brands' next phase of business improvement. The company has already undertaken initiatives to streamline its portfolio and strengthen its supply chain and go-to-market models. Beade's responsibilities will involve building on those changes by improving the connection between consumer-facing activities and the infrastructure required to deliver products to market. More closely aligned marketing, sales and supply chain operations can support coordinated product launches, demand planning, inventory management and distribution decisions. For Newell Brands, these functions are particularly important given the breadth of its product portfolio and the different retail and commercial channels through which its products are sold. The company's brands include Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco, Coleman, Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Yankee Candle, Paper Mate, FoodSaver, DYMO, EXPO, Elmer's, Oster, NUK, Spontex and Campingaz. Its operations span household essentials, food storage, writing products, outdoor recreation, baby care and other consumer categories. Beade's appointment adds a senior executive with experience managing complex global consumer goods operations as Newell Brands seeks to improve organizational effectiveness and strengthen its ability to execute commercial strategies across its international portfolio.

One Rock Capital Partners appoints Damon Anderson as operating partner. October 8, 2026 Damon Anderson One Rock Capital Partners has appointed Damon Anderson as an operating partner, expanding its operational leadership team as the private equity firm strengthens its focus on procurement, supply chain management and post-acquisition value creation. Anderson brings more than 25 years of experience in global sourcing, procurement, supply chain operations, acquisition integration and business improvement across private equity-backed and publicly traded companies. In his new role, he will work with One Rock's portfolio company management teams to identify cost efficiencies, improve sourcing strategies, strengthen supply chain performance and support operational improvements following acquisitions. The appointment comes as procurement and supply chain management become increasingly important components of private equity value creation strategies, particularly for industrial and manufacturing businesses with complex supplier networks and distribution operations. "Damon has been part of leadership teams that drove successful outcomes at private equity-backed businesses," said R. Scott Spielvogel, managing partner at One Rock Capital Partners. Spielvogel said Anderson's experience will support the firm's efforts to improve procurement and supply chain performance across its portfolio. Most recently, Anderson served as vice president of global sourcing and distribution at NSI Industries, where he held several leadership positions focused on supply chain management and sourcing. During his tenure, NSI operated under multiple private equity owners and completed a series of acquisitions and successful exits. Anderson helped develop the company's acquisition integration framework, establishing processes to bring acquired businesses into NSI's broader operations. His responsibilities included coordinating sourcing strategies, managing supplier relationships and supporting operational integration as the business expanded through acquisitions. That experience provides a foundation for his new responsibilities at One Rock, where portfolio companies may require supply chain integration and procurement improvements as part of their growth and operational transformation plans. Before joining NSI Industries, Anderson held several sourcing leadership roles at Newell Brands, a global consumer products company. His most recent position at Newell was segment sourcing lead for the company's global Tools business, where he worked on procurement and sourcing initiatives supporting international operations. His background spans both large publicly traded organizations and private equity-owned businesses, giving him experience with different operating structures, capital requirements and approaches to performance improvement. At One Rock, Anderson will apply that experience across portfolio companies, working with management teams to evaluate purchasing practices, supplier relationships, distribution networks and opportunities for greater operating efficiency. "I believe efficient supply chain and sourcing strategies are central to unlocking value in industrial businesses," Anderson said. He added that his experience working within private equity-backed companies has given him an understanding of the operating partner model and its role in supporting management teams. One Rock has incorporated operating partners into its investment strategy since the firm's inception, using industry and functional specialists to support acquisition evaluation and operational execution. Anderson joins a team of 30 operating partners who work alongside the firm's investment professionals and portfolio company executives. The operating partner structure is designed to provide specialized expertise throughout the investment lifecycle, from due diligence and acquisition planning to post-transaction integration and long-term business improvement. For industrial businesses, procurement and supply chain initiatives can influence profitability through purchasing efficiencies, inventory management, supplier consolidation and more effective distribution processes. These functions can also become particularly important following acquisitions, when businesses must integrate separate supplier networks, operating systems and purchasing arrangements. Anderson's experience developing acquisition integration processes at NSI Industries aligns with those requirements. One Rock focuses on acquiring businesses with opportunities for operational improvement and growth, working with management teams to develop business plans intended to increase enterprise value and profitability. The firm uses its operating partners to assess complex investment situations, identify operational challenges and implement improvements after transactions are completed. The addition of Anderson expands the firm's capabilities in an area that can directly affect operating costs, working capital requirements and execution of acquisition integration plans. His responsibilities will include supporting portfolio companies as they evaluate procurement strategies, improve supply chain resilience and implement operational changes designed to strengthen financial performance. For One Rock, the appointment reinforces its operationally focused investment approach, adding an executive with experience managing sourcing functions and integrating acquired businesses across industrial and distribution environments. Anderson will work with the firm's existing operating partners and portfolio leadership teams to develop procurement and supply chain initiatives intended to improve efficiency, support growth and create long-term value.
