Beacon Roofing Supply’s president and CEO Paul Isabella will leave the company later in the fiscal year. According to the Herndon, Va.-based distributor, Isabella will remain as president and CEO during the company’s nationwide search for a successor and will remain an advisor to the company after his departure.
“Paul Isabella has provided 12 years of dedicated service to Beacon,” said Robert R. Buck, Beacon’s Chairman. “He has been a valued leader to our executive management team, especially through our recent transformative acquisitions of RSG and Allied. As part of our company’s succession-planning process, we have prepared for Paul’s departure and we are glad that Paul is willing to remain with Beacon through our on-boarding of a successor with the skills, experience, and vision to lead Beacon to many more years of growth in sales and profitability.”
Isabella was promoted to president and chief executive officer from president and chief operating officer in 2010. He joined Beacon in November 2007 after spending 33 years working in a number of executive positions for various corporations, including General Electric, Stanley Works, and Eastman Kodak.
“It remains my great pleasure to serve as Beacon’s president and CEO through my departure and to continue to play a role in Beacon’s growth and success,” Isabella said in a public statement. “A strong succession planning process is critical to the long-term success of a great company and I look forward to helping Beacon ensure that my successor will be well-equipped to lead Beacon to even greater heights.”
Beacon Roofing Supply distributes roofing materials and complementary building products and was the third largest company on the most recent ProSales 100 list. It operates over 500 branches throughout all 50 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces.
