Holcim took next steps toward the planned listing of its North American business, designating members for its future board of directors.
The Holcim board in North America will include 10 members and be effective following the execution of a planned spinoff, which the company expects to be completed by the end of the second quarter.
Jan Jenisch was appointed as the designated chairman and CEO of the planned North American company. Jenisch, who currently is chairman of Holcim, is leading the planned listing of the North American company.
Jenisch previously served as Holcim CEO from 2017 to 2024. He will continue to serve as chairman of Holcim until its annual general meeting in May.
Additionally, the Holcim board appointed nine designated independent directors to serve on the North American company’s board of directors: Theresa Drew, Nicholas Gangestad, Dwight Gibson, Holli Ladhani, Michael McKelvy, Jürg Oleas, Robert Rivkin, Katja Roth Pellanda and Cristina Wilbur.
“Today is an important milestone as we prepare Holcim’s North American business to become an independent public company,” Jenisch says. “The designated members of the board of directors collectively bring impressive track records and a best-in-class mix of domain expertise, diverse perspectives and leadership experience. Together, we will deliver strong governance and support the company’s priorities of market leadership and superior value creation for shareholders, customers, employees and all stakeholders.”
