Rayonier promotes Ryan Daniels to permanent SVP, Wood Products after interim stint

Rayonier formalized its Wood Products leadership by promoting Ryan Daniels from interim to permanent Senior Vice President, Wood Products. Daniels had held the interim role since March 2026 and previously served as SVP Operations for the Wood Products business since January 2026. He came to Rayonier through the merger of equals with PotlatchDeltic that closed earlier this year, where he had been Director of Wood Products Operations since September 2023.

The appointment resolves a four-month interim arrangement and provides continuity in the Wood Products segment following the merger integration. Daniels' background at major industry players including Weyerhaeuser and Georgia-Pacific suggests operational depth in large-scale manufacturing. For retail holders, this is a routine governance matter with no immediate financial impact—the role was already filled on an interim basis and the promotion reflects normal post-merger organizational stabilization.
