Leadership transition at Boise Cascade
Boise Cascade has announced a series of leadership moves.
Mike Brown, executive vice president of wood products, will retire effective May 3.
The board of directors has approved the promotion of Troy Little as his successor.
Brown joined Boise Cascade in 1999, serving in several key leadership positions throughout his tenure while successfully navigating ups and downs of the housing market.
Little has 33 years of service with the company. He provides a broad range of experience in finance, strategy, commodity sales, and operational leadership, including serving as Region Manager for six manufacturing facilities in Oregon, Boise Cascade said. He was promoted to vice president in 2021 and senior vice president in 2023.
Erin Nuxoll, senior vice president of human resources, will also retire effective May 3, 2024.
The board of directors approved the promotion of Angella Broesch to vice president, human resources. Nuxoll has 30 years of service with Boise Cascade, and along with her many accomplishments, she most recently guided the implementation of a new companywide HR technology platform.
Broesch began her career with Boise Cascade’s internal audit team in 2013. In 2020, she transitioned to lead the HR center of expertise for benefits and compensation. Angella was promoted to Senior Director of Corporate HR in 2022. Before joining the company, she worked at MarkMonitor and KPMG.
“We have been very intentional in our leadership succession planning and expect a smooth transition,” said Nate Jorgensen, CEO. “I want to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to Mike and Erin for their years of service and many contributions to the Company. I offer my congratulations to Troy and Angella on their new roles. Both of these leaders are guided by our core Values, and I know they will bring new perspectives and ideas to advance our success.”
“I appreciate the strategic focus that our management team places on leadership development and succession planning,” said Tom Carlile, board chair. “I am confident that Boise Cascade is well positioned for continued success.
