Cary Dunston named CEO at American Woodmark

Cabinet supplier American Woodmark Corporation has a new CEO in Cary Dunston, effective in August.

Dunston is currently serving as president and COO of the company. He will assume his new role concurrent with the company's Annual Shareholders Meeting on Aug. 26, succeeding Kent Guichard.

Dunston has been with the company since 2006, when he joined as senior VP manufacturing. Since then, he has held the roles of executive VP operations, executive VP and COO, and president and COO.

Dunston has also been serving on the board since 2014.

Guichard will remain with the company as non-executive chairman of the board.

"Over the past few years, we have been preparing our senior management team for the orderly transition of the company's leadership," said Guichard. "Transferring the full responsibilities of CEO to Cary is the next step in this process. During his nine years with the company, Cary has spent time working in a variety of key roles that have involved him in all aspects of our business. Since 2013, Cary has led the effort to drive us towards our 2019 Vision to become a world class organization. He has assembled an outstanding team that I am confident will take American Woodmark to even greater success. I congratulate Cary and look forward to working with him in my continuing role as chairman."
