Sherland, who had served as vice president - Transportation and Logistics since 2002, assumed the additional responsibilities following the retirement of Robert W. Boyd, Jr., vice president - Procurement and Supply Management. Sherland continues to report to George H. Weyerhaeuser, senior vice president - Technology.

"Today's announcement is a significant step in the development of Weyerhaeuser's supply chain management system," Weyerhaeuser said. "Like many companies that successfully manage their supply chain, we now have a closely linked inbound and outbound logistics organization. I am confident that under Pete's leadership, this new organization will play a critical role in Weyerhaeuser's future success."

In his new role, Sherland is responsible for purchasing all company supplies, except fiber, and for the transportation of Weyerhaeuser's products. Sherland will remain chairman of Westwood Shipping, Weyerhaeuser's shipping line that serves customers in more than 20 ports in Japan, Korea, China and North America.

Sherland served for seven years as vice president finance and planning for the pulp, paper and packaging sector. He has also managed the company's pension fund investments and led the Investment Evaluation Department. Sherland graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1974 with a degree in physics, and received an MBA from Stanford University.
