The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) International is proud to announce the appointment of Sarah Kutulakos as its inaugural Regional Director for North America, effective January 1, 2025. This pivotal appointment underscores FSC’s commitment to advancing responsible forest management and strengthening its presence across the United States and Canada.
“This is an exciting and pivotal moment for FSC in North America,” said Lieske van Santen, FSC International Global Network Director. “With the appointment of Sarah Kutulakos as our Regional Director, we are establishing a dedicated presence to better support our members and partner organizations in the U.S. and Canada who have worked hard to safeguard forests and promote sustainable forestry. I am confident Sarah’s leadership will significantly strengthen our global mission. Her proven track record in growing membership organizations and her deep leadership experience makes her perfect for this important role.” Lieske added further.
Kutulakos, a seasoned executive with extensive experience in multinational business operations and strategic growth, will lead FSC’s efforts to meet the growing demand for responsibly sourced forest products in North America. Her leadership will strengthen FSC’s presence on the ground and foster deeper connections within North America and between the regions.
“I am honored to join FSC at such a transformative time,” said Sarah Kutulakos. “The opportunity to lead and support the growth of FSC in North America is a privilege, and I look forward to working closely with our Network Partners and members to expand FSC’s impact on responsible forest management in this region.” Sarah concluded.
Sarah’s appointment coincides with significant leadership changes across FSC in North America. Earlier this year, Sarah Billig was appointed President of FSC US, and Monika Patel will assume the role of President of FSC Canada starting in January 2025. Together, this new leadership team marks a dynamic and transformative period for FSC in the region, ready to seize significant opportunities to advance forest stewardship.
