I am pleased to have reached a resolution with James Hardie Industries. I am proud to have served as CEO, with the opportunity to work with more than 5,000 energized teammates.
Over the past three years, we grew James Hardie’s market capitalization by more than US$13 billion (+370%), its annual revenue by more than US$1 billion (+45%, organically), and its net profit by more than US$260 million (+85%). It was the direct result of the entire global team’s execution of a transformational strategy that turned James Hardie from a regional focused company into a high performance, global company with multiple growth engines that delivered consistent, organic growth with strong returns.
I wish nothing but success for the people of James Hardie. I look forward to the next opportunity to realize a company’s full growth and value creation potential. Having led successful transformations of businesses for 3M, Electrolux, and now James Hardie, I’ll continue to prioritize innovation, disruption, and efficiency to achieve step change results while simultaneously establishing stability for the long-term.
