Builders FirstSource Announces Completion of Planned CEO Transition
April 01 2021 - 8:00AM
Builders FirstSource, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLDR) (“Builders FirstSource”)
announced today that Dave Flitman has been appointed chief
executive officer. The planned transition of the CEO role is
taking place 90 days after Builders FirstSource (BFS) and BMC Stock
Holdings, Inc. (“BMC”) announced the completion of their all-stock
merger transaction and coincides with the previously announced
retirement plan of Chad Crow.
“This is truly an exciting time for Builders FirstSource. I
firmly believe that growth is what’s at the heart of this merger –
consolidating and expanding our reach in a fragmented industry,
innovating and building on our value-add offerings, and giving our
people the resources needed to deliver the enhanced service our
customers expect from us,” said Mr. Flitman.
“By uniting our companies, we have increased our size and market
position, and this strategic combination is a transformational step
forward for our team members, customers and shareholders,” Mr.
Flitman continued. “While we are still in the early phases of the
integration process, the seamless transition and remarkable success
that have defined our merger thus far would not have been possible
without Chad’s leadership. I want to thank him for his dedication
and guidance, and I wish him the very best in retirement.”
“I would like to thank everyone who supported me throughout my
career at Builders FirstSource,” Mr. Crow said. “When I joined BFS
more than 20 years ago, it was, of course, much smaller, having
only completed a few acquisitions at that time. I could not have
dreamed this company would be where it is today – an industry
leader – but more importantly, such a special place to work filled
with incredible people, and where I have developed life-long
friendships. I’m incredibly proud of the growth we’ve achieved over
the last two decades. This strategic merger marks an extraordinary
new chapter for Builders FirstSource, and I’m confident it will
thrive under Dave’s leadership.”
Mr. Flitman has over three decades of experience and a prolific
background in leading distribution business across multiple
industries. Prior to the merger, Mr. Flitman served as president
and CEO of BMC. Previously, he held the titles of president and
chief executive officer of Performance Foodservice; chief operating
officer of Univar; president of Univar USA and chief supply chain
officer; executive vice president and president of water and
process services at Ecolab; and held several executive leadership
roles at Nalco. Mr. Flitman also worked as president of Allegheny
Power and vice president of distribution at its parent company,
Allegheny Energy, after spending nearly 20 years at DuPont in
various operational, commercial and global business leadership
positions.
As previously announced, Mr. Crow will remain available on a
consulting basis to support the integration and to ensure an
orderly transition. BLDR confirmed there is no change to the
business outlook for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2021
that the company provided as part of its four-quarter and full year
2020 earnings announcement on February 26, 2020.
