Indiana Limestone Company, Inc. CEO and leadership

Fortune 500 CEO, Executive Advisor and Corporate Board Member, known for identifying growth opportunities, optimizing value, and delivering accelerated growth for privately-held and private equity companies. Recognized for building and leading highly motivated teams that consistently achieve aggressive revenue, profit, and market share objectives through innovation and future-focused technologies in highly competitive markets.

As the CEO at Indiana Limestone, I led an iconic brand out of bankruptcy and turned it around in less than 12 months, becoming the top performer in the private equity portfolio restoring profitability, improving market share, implementing new manufacturing technology, and driving innovation leading to a successful exit. Retained as President emeritus and advisor to manage the business strategy and integration.

Currently, I am a Board Director and Executive Advisor for two firms, one private equity backed and the other a privately held consumer packaging company where I advise the CEO on executive hiring, succession, and serve on the US expansion oversight committee.

Previously, as the Vice President and General Manager of Owens Corning Residential Insulation Division, I led the team to aggressively manage the cost structure, drove innovation and led the largest product transformation in the company’s history changing the core product line from fiberglass to a natural grain-based material, negotiating exclusive rights with Cargill, during the economic crisis of 2008. This innovation led to vendor of the year with The Home Depot and Masco, where we created exclusive partnerships representing $1B.

I began my career track in sales and marketing and moved into General/Executive Management, having full P&L responsibility with publicly traded companies, private equity, early stage, building products, manufacturing, industrial, OEM, consumer goods, and wholesale distribution companies.
