Ball Corporation Names New Presidents of Beverage Packaging North and Central America and EMEA

WESTMINSTER, Colo., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ball Corporation (NYSE: BALL) today announced senior leadership changes for two of its business units. Carey Causey has been appointed senior vice president and president, Beverage Packaging North and Central America, effective immediately, succeeding Kathleen Pitre, and Scott Vail has been named senior vice president and president, Beverage Packaging Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Vail will succeed Mandy Glew who has elected to retire, effective January 2027. The departures are not related to any disagreement with the company.

In their roles, Causey and Vail will have responsibility for customer relationships, operational execution and financial performance. Their appointments reinforce Ball’s focus on disciplined execution and sustainable value creation across its global packaging operations.

“Carey and Scott are the right leaders to take these two important business units forward,” said Ron Lewis, chief executive officer. “They both have proven track records, deep commercial and operational experience, and leadership values aligned with Ball’s. I am confident they will build on the strong foundations in each region, deepen our customer partnerships and deliver results.”

Lewis continued, “We thank Mandy and Kathleen for their leadership and many contributions to Ball. Both have played important roles in our business and have had a significant impact, and we wish them well.”
