Her customer-first mentality is an excellent fit for leading our sales and customer service teams.”
Meanwhile, Podojil has been with Avery Dennison for over 25 years and has held roles in the company's Graphic and Labels businesses in North America and Europe. Most recently, Podojil was the vice president of sales for Label and Packaging Materials, North America.
