Holcim Building Envelope restructures, adds position as growth continues

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Accompanying the growth in Holcim Group's building envelope, specifically in its Elevate roofing brand, is a restructuring in company leadership and U.S. sales.

The Elevate U.S. sales team is transitioning into east and west divisions, each led by a senior sales director.

In addition, the role of vice president of supply chain and customer experience has been created to focus on "end-to-end optimization" and "improved customer-centricity."

"Listening to our customers, building strong relationships and prioritizing customer experience are at the core of who Elevate is," said Kristin Beck, president of the Americas commercial roofing systems and lining business unit at Holcim Building Envelope. "These leadership changes are a step forward in strengthening our market relationships and enhancing our customer engagement.

"Expanding senior leadership roles will further support our efforts in achieving these goals."

David Finn and Allen Sopko have been named as senior sales directors for the east and west, respectively. The directors are charged with leading regional sales, strategic accounts and regional account managers.

As such, the Elevate technical and warranty teams will align with sales partners within each market.

"Together, these teams will be uniquely positioned to address customers' needs, and in partnership with Elevate independent sales representatives, will focus on delivering an outstanding customer experience," Holcim said in a Dec. 5 release.

Finn has more than three decades of experience in account management, sales, operations and leadership development. He came to Holcim Building Envelope in 2017.

Sopko was hired at Holcim Building Envelope in 2004. His expertise comes in sales, technical services, product management and marketing.

Rounding out the management restructuring, Jennifer Hemgesberg has been named as vice president of supply chain and customer experience.

She will lead collaborative efforts across Holcim Building Envelope, responsible for demand and supply chain planning. She also will lead the Elevate Customer Experience program.

Hemgesberg brings extensive professional experience in a range of customer-centered programs.

Holcim Building Envelope covers an array of residential and commercial roofing, wall and lining systems, insulation and waterproofing solution needs for construction, marine and aerospace, among many other markets.
