Andersen appoints leadership
Andersen Corporation, manufacturer of windows and doors, has appointed Andrea Nordaune as senior vice president, chief legal officer, and corporate secretary.
“Andrea’s deep understanding of our industry, coupled with her exemplary judgment, make her the perfect person to lead our legal department,” said Chris Galvin, president and CEO of Andersen Corporation.
In her new position, said the company, Nordaune will report directly to Galvin and will be a member of the company’s executive committee, further highlighting her leadership within the organization.
“Nordaune, a longtime Andersen leader, brings a wealth of knowledge, extensive experience, and exceptional leadership skills to her new executive position,” said the firm.
This strategic decision follows the retirement of Alan Bernick, who served the Bayport, Minnesota-based company with distinction for 23 years.
“We thank Alan for his many years of service and wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement,” said Galvin.
Nordaune began working with Andersen in 2000, quickly established herself as a senior attorney and steadily climbed the ranks. Her most recent position was vice president, general counsel, and assistant corporate secretary.
Alongside her responsibilities at Andersen, Nordaune also serves as Andersen’s representative on the board of directors of the Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) and is a member of the Association's executive committee.
Her promotion showcases what Andersen called its “commitment to recognizing and fostering internal talent, ensuring a seamless transition for this important role and sustaining growth. Nordaune is the first woman appointed to this executive-level position.”
She will oversee a team of more than 25 professionals in the legal, audit, and procurement, compliance and regulatory affairs departments.
“I have no doubt that she will play a pivotal role in guiding and protecting our business interests as we continue to grow the business, expand employment opportunities, and support our local communities,” said Galvin.
