Weyerhaeuser appointed Paul Hossain as senior vice president and chief development officer, effective January 1, 2025.
In this role, he will oversee the company's Real Estate, Energy & Natural Resources segment, including its Natural Climate Solutions business, as well as Business Development and Acquisitions and Divestitures.
Hossain currently serves as vice president of Natural Resources and Climate Solutions for the company. He will be taking over for Russell Hagen, who is retiring at the end of 2024 but will serve as a strategic advisor to support the leadership transition.
"Paul brings deep and diverse experience in environmental and natural resource management, real estate and business development, including more than 18 years in our industry," said Devin Stockfish, president and chief executive officer. "Mostly recently, he has played an instrumental role in building and scaling our Natural Climate Solutions business -- including driving significant growth in renewable energy development and carbon capture and sequestration projects on our land -- and we look forward to his expertise and strategic vision on the senior management team."
"This is a tremendous honor and opportunity," Hossain said. "We have extensive expertise within our Corporate Development organization, from real estate and A&D to business development, conservation, forest carbon and renewable energy. And I'm excited to leverage our unique advantages as a fully integrated forest products company as we work to grow the value of our portfolio and build on our positive climate impact at Weyerhaeuser."
