Louisiana-Pacific Reconfigures Management Team

 

Louisiana-Pacific Corp. announced several changes to its executive management team. CEO Curt Stevens says, “These changes provide opportunities for LP to benefit from the shared perspectives and best practices across businesses as we continue to develop our top leadership talent.”

Mike Sims becomes senior vice president sales and marketing. He replaces Rick Olszewski, executive vice president of sales, marketing and South America, who is retiring from LP. Frederick Price, president of LP South America, reports to Stevens.

Brad Southern becomes executive vice president OSB, replacing Jeff Wagner, who will retire from LP mid-year. In the interim, Wagner will be executive vice president Growth and Innovation, reporting directly to Stevens.

Brian Luoma becomes executive vice president Siding, replacing Southern in that position. Neil Sherman becomes senior vice president, EWP, replacing Luoma in that position.

Stevens continues, “LP is very fortunate to have a strong bench of management talent; these team members represent decades of industry and LP experience. We were able to make these moves internally as a result of the talent pool within LP and our robust succession planning process. I would also like to thank Rick Olszewski and Jeff Wagner for their important contributions to LP.”
