Boise Cascade

Strom

Jorgensen

Boise Cascade announced that Nate Jorgensen, chief executive officer, plans to retire effective March 2. The board of directors has unanimously appointed Jeff Strom, chief operating officer, to succeed Jorgensen. Jorgensen will continue to serve as a director on the company's board after his retirement. The company does not plan to backfill the chief operating officer role after the transition. “This is a planned transition and part of the company's deliberate and long-term succession planning process to ensure stability and continued momentum in our strategy and operations,” said Tom Carlile, chair of Boise Cascade's board. Strom has been in the building materials industry for over 34 years. He joined Boise Cascade in 2006 and has served in several key roles and progressive leadership positions during his 19 years with the company. Prior to his current role as the chief operating officer, he was the executive vice president of the company's building materials distribution (BMD) division. Prior to that, he was the vice president and general manager for the BMD Eastern Region. Strom holds a bachelor's degree in management from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He also serves on the board of trustees for the Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity.
