For generations, Port Blakely has focused on the future - for our forests, our people, and our family. That long-term approach was recently highlighted in Family Business Magazine by Editor-in-Chief Zack Needles, who explored Port Blakely’s CEO transition and the values that continue to guide the company into its sixth generation.
The article covers the leadership transition from René Ancinas to Mike Warjone, a rare intra-generational handoff within the family. More than just a new title, this change is the result of years of thoughtful succession planning, strong governance, and a shared belief that caring for our forests and investing for the future are deeply connected. The piece also shows how Port Blakely works to balance ecological responsibility with long-term business success.
We’re proud to see our history and values reflected in this feature. Read the full story in Family Business Magazine.
