Robert “Bob” Pyle
President and CEO
Graham Packaging
Bob Pyle became president and CEO of Graham Packaging in August 2021.
He said his leadership style “is collaborative and people focused. I place a very high emphasis on integrity, transparency and creating teamwork … . Over the last year, we have made organizational changes to put a stronger focus on our customers, our people and our operations. We developed and rolled out a refreshed corporate strategy and are developing a three-year strategic plan … . We have invested in creating a constructive culture of accountability, delivering value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”
Prior to Graham, Pyle worked 30-plus years in the global automotive industry, starting as a financial analyst at Ford Motor Co., working at several tier 1 automotive suppliers, and spending almost 10 years living and working in China. “My entire career has been spent working in and around capital intensive, global manufacturing companies with large, demanding customers.”
To relax, Pyle likes spending time with his wife and two daughters. “My hobbies include playing tennis, pickleball and golf. I also enjoy giving back to the community and currently serve on the board of directors of Young Singers of the Palm Beaches, an inspiring nonprofit choral organization in Florida.”
