Early life and education


Laschinger was born around 1959 and grew up on her family's dairy farm in Arkansaw, Wisconsin. She was third from the youngest, with four brothers and three sisters. Her father took advantage of government subsidies and the family did not have many of the hardships of other small farms. She did laundry and scrubbed the floors as a child on the farm.
After graduating high school, she worked several odd jobs and spent several years attending a local tech school. She was 21 when she began attending university, and in 1985, she graduated with a degree in business administration from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. She completed her Executive MBA at the University of Connecticut and her postgraduate studies at Northwestern University’s, Kellogg School of Management in executive management.

On July 1, 2014, Veritiv was formed upon the merger of International Paper Company's xpedx division with the parent company of Unisource Worldwide, at which time Laschinger became chairman and CEO of the company.
By June 2016, Laschinger was one of 21 women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.
