“During my time at Norwood I have been proud to be part of the effort to strengthen the Norwood brand and believe the future of Norwood is now more secure than ever,” said Lage. “I’m supportive of the new organization’s vision and believe the steps they are taking are necessary to make Norwood and BIC Advertising & Promotional Products the leader in the industry. I have confidence that with the current structure and leadership, customers will continue to receive a positive Norwood experience.”

On a more personal note, he concluded, “I am grateful for everything Norwood and BIC have done for me and my career. Now that Norwood is stronger, I have made the decision to move on to new challenges.”

Lage will leave Norwood in mid-April but has committed to providing continued support during the transition to a new leadership structure.

“Paul has been a key member of our management team,” said Nicolas Paillot, CEO of BIC Advertising & Promotional Products. “His industry expertise and leadership will be missed. On behalf of all of us at BIC, I want to thank him for his contributions and wish him ongoing success.”
