LP names new president
LP Building Solutions (LP) has appointed Jason Ringblom to the newly created role of president, overseeing all manufacturing and commercial operations, effective April 7, 2025.
LP says this leadership transition is part of the company's long-term succession planning. With this new structure, LP has eliminated the North American business general manager positions, and Ringblom will continue reporting to LP Chair & CEO Brad Southern.
“On behalf of the board of directors, I am pleased to have Jason serve as president and look forward to working with him in this new role,” said Southern. “Having served as general manager for both LP’s OSB and siding businesses, I am confident that Jason is the ideal leader to help drive LP’s ongoing strategic transformation.”
LP says it is aiming to streamline operations by integrating its siding and OSB manufacturing and consolidating all market-facing activities under Ringblom. By integrating operations, LP hopes to simplify processes, making it easier for customers to do business with LP while improving service and responsiveness. However, there are no immediate plans to change financial reporting segments.
As part of these changes, LP General Manager of South America Frederick Price will now report to Ringblom.
“I am honored to lead LP’s transition to a more unified structure and excited to work with all 4,300 LP team members as we advance LP’s strategic transformation,” said Ringblom.
With more than 20 years at LP, including eight years on the executive team, Ringblom brings extensive expertise in sales, marketing and operations.
In addition to Ringblom’s appointment as president, LP has also appointed Craig Sichling to the newly created role of senior vice president, chief commercial officer and named three new VPs, including Vice President of National Accounts Jeremy Sellers, Vice President of Field Sales Mitch Kingston, and Vice President of Supply Chain & Customer Experience Cody Austell.
