LP Building Solutions, a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, announced the appointment of Jason Ringblom as executive vice president, general manager of siding, to the newly created role of president, overseeing all manufacturing and commercial operations, effective April 7, 2025.

This leadership transition is part of LP’s long-term succession planning for its next phase of growth. 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 is streamlining operations by integrating Siding and OSB manufacturing and consolidating all market-facing activities under a single leader. By integrating operations, LP simplifies processes, making it easier for customers to do business while improving service and responsiveness. However, there are no immediate plans to change financial reporting segments.

As president, Ringblom will lead this transition, defining the new structure, appointing leadership, and aligning processes to ensure a seamless integration. 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.

According to news release, with more than 20 years at LP, including eight years on the Executive Team, Ringblom brings 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 vice presidents, 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.
