John Crowe has been appointed as the President and CEO of building materials company Saint-Gobain and its largest North American subsidiary, CertainTeed Corporation.

Crowe, who will take on these roles on Sept. 1, will be Saint-Gobain’s representative in North America and also be a chair at the company’s Executive Committee.

According to ARW Magazine, Crowe sees his new role as a way to continue to push innovation throughout the company.

“CertainTeed has been a leader in the construction industry for over one hundred years – Saint-Gobain for over three centuries – but we have never seen such a rapid pace of change, or so many exciting new building technologies,” said Crowe.
