Weyerhaeuser has appointed Paul Hossain as its senior vice president and chief development officer, effective Jan. 1, 2025.

In the new role, he will oversee the company’s real estate, energy and natural resources segment, including Weyerhaeuser’s natural climate solutions business as well as its business development and acquisitions and divestitures.

“Paul brings deep and diverse experience in environmental and natural resource management, real estate, and business development, including more than 18 years in our industry,” Devin Stockfish, president and CEO of Weyerhaeuser, said. “Most recently, he has played an instrumental role in building and scaling our natural climate solutions business—including driving significant growth in renewable energy development and carbon capture and sequestration projects in our land—and we look forward to his expertise and strategic vision on the senior management team.”

Hossain currently serves as vice president of natural resources and climate solutions for Weyerhaeuser. He will replace the retiring Russell Hagen in his new role in 2025.

“This is a tremendous honor and opportunity,” Hossain said. “We have extensive expertise within our corporate development organization, from real estate and A&D to business development, conservation, forest carbon, and renewable energy. And I’m excited to leverage our unique advantages as a fully integrated forest products company as we work to grow the value of our portfolio and build on our positive climate impact at Weyerhaeuser.”
