JACKSON, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Molpus Woodlands Group, LLC (Molpus), a timberland investment management organization headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, is pleased to announce today two promotions and a new addition within its executive team.

Terrell Winstead has assumed the position of Executive Vice President. In this role, Terrell will continue to have broad-based responsibilities throughout Molpus.

Terrell has worked with Molpus for more than thirty-two years, serving as CFO for twenty-nine of those years. Throughout his career at Molpus, Terrell has proven to be a thought-leader in the timberland investment management (TIMO) industry and has built strong relationships within the U.S. forestland industry. We believe that Terrell’s deep knowledge of our company and relationships throughout our industry will be invaluable in his transition to his new role.

Tyler Rosamond is being promoted to Chief Financial Officer. Tyler will be responsible for financial analysis, reporting, and projections of client investments, as well as internal company financials. He will also oversee the Molpus accounting and financial teams and the Human Resources staff. Tyler joined Molpus in 2012 and has served as a Deputy Chief Financial Officer.

Wendy Mullins has been hired for the position of General Counsel. Wendy will provide legal advice to the company’s executive leadership on strategic initiatives and matters of corporate governance, as well as guidance to management across the company’s multiple business divisions. She will also oversee the company’s internal legal team, which is primarily responsible for supporting the day-to-day timber management operations. Prior to joining Molpus, Wendy was a corporate and transactional lawyer in a national law firm and has previously served as General Counsel for a subsidiary of a publicly traded company.

“Respected throughout the industry, Terrell Winstead was one of the key employees working alongside Dick Molpus in executing Dick’s vision of the Molpus Woodlands Group’s development into a vertically integrated timberland management organization,” said Bob Lyle, President of Molpus. “Further, Terrell was one of our industry’s leaders in developing the economic modeling of acquisitions of timberland investments. Terrell is invaluable to Molpus and our clients, and he has a clear vision for our future. Additionally, Tyler Rosamond has the skills and experience to excel in the role of CFO, skills honed through his prior work experience and progression through key company roles.
