"Heckes has extensive experience in the building materials and services industry and is currently a member of the board of directors of James Hardie Industries, a public company specializing in high-performance building materials. He also serves on the board of directors for Airtron Heating & Air Conditioning. From 2019 to 2024, he worked as the CEO of Masonite International, which manufactures, designs, markets, and distributes doors and door solutions."
"He brings a wealth of experience across materials and services businesses with strong ties to the homebuilding industry and a long track record of successful leadership. His extensive experience in building materials, home improvement, and finding unique points of differentiation to successfully grow businesses will be particularly valuable as we execute our differentiated product strategy, said Allan Merrill, Chairman and CEO of Beazer Homes, in a press release."
"Danny Shepherd, who was named to Beazer's board of directors in 2016, will retire and won't stand for re-election in 2026. Heckes's experience in building materials aligns with Beazer Homes' focus on energy-efficient homes. The Atlanta-based company is a leader in energy efficiency and was the first builder to commit to building 100% of its new homes to comply with the U.S. Department of Energy's zero-energy-ready standard."
Beazer Homes appointed Howard Heckes as an independent member of its 10-person board of directors and announced the planned retirement of board member Danny Shepherd, who will not stand for re-election in 2026. Heckes holds board roles at James Hardie Industries and Airtron Heating & Air Conditioning. He served as CEO of Masonite International from 2019 to 2024, previously led Energy Management Collaborative, was a Division President at Newell Brands, and held leadership positions at Valspar Corporation. Allan Merrill, Chairman and CEO, said Heckes's materials and home-improvement experience will support the company's differentiated product strategy. Beazer emphasizes energy-efficient homes and committed to building all new homes to the DOE zero-energy-ready standard, and executives highlighted two main benefits of these energy-efficient homes during the company's November earnings call.
