Weyerhaeuser names new SVP for timberlands

Weyerhaeuser has appointed Devin Stockfish as SVP of timberlands, effective. Jan. 1, 2018. Stockfish replaces Rhonda Hunter, who will retire after 30 years at the Seattle-based company.

"Devin is a skilled and respected leader with a proven ability to deliver results," said Doyle Simons, Weyerhaeuser president and CEO. "He has done a great job driving improvement in our western timberlands organization and I know he will bring that experience and perspective to this critical role. I want to thank Rhonda for her outstanding leadership and for the many contributions she has made to this company throughout her career."

Stockfish currently serves as SVP of general counsel for the company. He joined Weyerhaeuser in 2013.

Before he began practicing law, Stockfish was an engineer with The Boeing Company. 

Hunter has been Weyerhaeuser's SVP of timberlands since January 2014. Before that, she held a number of leadership positions in the company's southern timberlands organization.

Weyerhaeuser is one of the largest global private owners of timberlands and controls nearly 13 million acres in the United States and manages additional timberlands under long-term licenses in Canada.
