Packsize, a Salt Lake City-based custom packaging company, has named David Lockwood, currently the executive chairman of the company’s board of directors, as its new CEO. He succeeds Rod Galloway, who is retiring. Galloway will continue with the company as a senior consultant.
Lockwood has served as a Packsize board member since 2023 and comes to the CEO role with over three decades of experience in business, academia and government. He served as CEO of EnergySolutions, an environmental services company based in Utah, from 2012 through 2018 and its executive chairman from 2019 through 2021.
“I look forward to working with everyone at Packsize to expand the delivery of our cost-effective, sustainable packaging solutions,” Lockwood said. “The need for packaging solutions that protect the health of our planet has never been greater.”
Galloway joined Packsize in 2017 as executive vice president and was named CEO in 2021. During his tenure as CEO, the company’s revenues grew by more than 50 percent and he led the development of the company’s next generation of automated packaging machines.
“Watching Packsize grow and mature in its team members, customers and products has been rewarding,” said Galloway. “As you near the end of your career, you recognize how special it is to be a part of a mission-oriented company that is truly helping the planet. As I shift my focus to helping David and the team in a different capacity, I’m as excited as ever for the future of Packsize.”
“Rod has been a senior executive and thought leader in warehouse automation and global supply chains for over three decades,” said Lockwood. “Packsize has been extremely fortunate to have Rod as CEO, and we are grateful he will stay with us in an advisory capacity.”
Before EnergySolutions, Lockwood was chairman and CEO of Liberate Technologies, a provider of software and hardware to the telecommunications industry, and CEO of Intertrust, a digital rights management technology company. He was also a managing director at Goldman Sachs.
