Eagle Materials names Michael Haack as COO

Eagle Materials has tapped Michael Haack to fill the new COO role, which was created to service the company's recent wave of growth and expansion in construction and energy-related markets.

He joins the company following a 17-year stint with Halliburton Energy Services, where he most recently served in a management role within Global Operations for Sperry Drilling. The multi-billion dollar company has operations in every major oil and gas market.

“We are proud to have such a high-caliber and experienced individual as Michael joining the Eagle team," said president and CEO Steve Rowley. "His placement in this newly created position is timely given our growth progress and strategic aspirations. Michael’s experience will be especially valuable given our growth into energy-related markets, most notably in frac-sand and specialty oil-well casing cement. This represents a significant step in the expansion of our strong operating leadership team and is aimed at ensuring the long-term continuity of Eagle’s enviable performance track record."

In his new role, Haack will report directly to Rowley.
