The strength of our Montreal-based Paperboard Team comes from the people behind it—people who bring experience, dedication and a commitment to serving our customers every day. On August 5, we had the opportunity to celebrate one of those colleagues and an impressive career milestone: David Erskine, Inside Sales Representative, marked 30 years with RYAM.
Over the past three decades, David has become someone our customers and colleagues know they can count on. His experience, reliability and willingness to help others have made a lasting impact on the team and helped build the strong customer relationships we value today.
For Ahdab Nakhala, Manager, Inside Sales – Sales, Paper & Board, David’s milestone reflects the sense of connection that makes the team special.
“As the manager of this incredible team, I couldn’t be more grateful,” Ahdab says. “I feel fortunate to work alongside such a dedicated group of professionals, and I truly appreciate everything each team member contributes every day.”
David describes that connection simply: “I feel I am part of the family.”
After 30 years, those few words say a great deal. They reflect not only David’s experience with RYAM, but also the spirit of a team that works together, supports one another and celebrates each other’s successes.
David’s contributions are also felt by our customers. The Paperboard Team is regularly recognized for its professionalism, responsiveness and care—qualities David has demonstrated throughout his career. His commitment to building relationships and helping customers succeed is an example of the difference our people make every day.
Congratulations, David, on 30 years with RYAM! Thank you for the experience, dedication and commitment you have brought to our company, your colleagues and our customers. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone with you.
