Rayonier Inc. said Ashlee Townsend Cribb has resigned as Executive Vice President, Wood Products, and will leave the role to take a CEO position with a privately owned specialty wood products manufacturer that the company does not view as a competitor, according to Rayonier Inc.
Cribb will remain with the company until March 20, 2026, to support the transition of her responsibilities.
Ryan Daniels, Senior Vice President, Operations for the wood products business, will lead the business on an interim basis while the company conducts a search for a permanent successor that may include internal and external candidates.
Mark McHugh, Rayonier’s president and chief executive officer, said Cribb led the wood products business since 2021 and guided the organization through the merger of equals between Rayonier and PotlatchDeltic.
Rayonier said Daniels has more than 20 years of wood products manufacturing experience and previously held roles at Weyerhaeuser, Georgia-Pacific, and Coastal Forest Resources Company before joining PotlatchDeltic in 2023. The company said he holds a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and an M.S. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Arkansas.
