Avery Dennison announced a planned board leadership change: William Wagner, an independent director since 2022, will become independent Board Chair on September 1, 2026, succeeding Mitchell Butier, who stays as non-executive chairman through Aug. 31 and then remains a non-independent director. Because Wagner is independent under NYSE rules, the company is dropping the Lead Independent Director role; Patrick Siewert will step out of that position and later replace Wagner as Governance Committee chair. The changes are part of a long-planned succession process.
