Gorham, New Hampshire, January 28, 2013 – Supporting the objective of building a market-centric organization, Gorham Paper and Tissue hired Pam Miller for a newly created Director of Marketing position.

In this role, Miller will work collaboratively with sales and manufacturing to refine the company’s marketing strategy. On the tactical side she will drive segmentation work, implement lead generation activities, utilize research to gain customer insight and produce foundation materials that optimize Gorham’s branding, positioning and portfolio of products.

“Great things are happening at Gorham. We are building capability and customers rapidly. Having Pam in this role will formalize our marketing efforts, communicate our competitive advantage, drive value creation and hone our go-to-market strategy,” said Brian McAlary, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Miller brings to the company over 20 years of industry experience working for some of the largest paper manufacturers in North America including the former Champion International, International Paper, MeadWestvaco and Twin Rivers. At these companies she helped build marketing competency while enhancing external communication.

One of Pam’s first challenges is to help us communicate our breadth of capability which is complemented by an unusually responsive service platform.”
