Roseburg names new Chief of Staff

Forest products and lumber producer Roseburg announced that Cybelle White has been promoted to the role of chief of staff and officially joins the company’s executive team. 

Roseburg noted that the move was officially made at the start of 2024.

As chief of staff, White will focus on aligning strategic initiatives, fostering communication and quick decision-making, and executing projects on the CEO’s behalf. 

She will also lead the executive team’s work in board engagement. The overall purpose of the role is to drive results by strengthening execution, follow-up, and accountability, Roseburg said.

“Cybelle has for years served as a de facto Chief of Staff and member of the executive team—having a seat and voice at the executive table and acting on the CEO’s behalf,” Roseburg President and CEO Stuart Gray said. “Cybelle was instrumental in the execution of our CEO transition in 2023.”

“This promotion recognizes the role Cybelle plays in our company leadership and positions her for expanded impact across the company,” the CEO added.

White first joined the company in 2016 as executive assistant to then-President and CEO Grady Mulbery. Her scope and influence steadily expanded, and in 2022, she was named manager of executive office and board relations.

Roseburg is based in Springfield, Oregon, has about 3,000 employees, and operates mills in western Oregon. The company also sustainability manages about 600,000 acres of timberlands.
