“I am very pleased to welcome Prith to the Beacon executive leadership team,” said Julian Francis, president and CEO, Beacon. “Prith’s strong growth orientation, extensive M&A experience and capital markets expertise will strengthen Beacon as we complete Ambition 2025 and continue to grow above the market. His proven track record in financial leadership, particularly in the building products industry, will be invaluable as we continually improve service to customers in our two core markets, residential roofing, and commercial roofing.”

Before joining Fast Radius, he worked for eight years at Owens Corning, serving in progressively more senior finance roles, including vice president, FP&A and corporate strategy and vice president, corporate development and culminating as interim chief financial officer. 

Earlier in his career, Gandhi held corporate strategy and development roles at Dover Corp, Zebra Technologies Corporation and Morgan Stanley. He earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and economics from the University of California-Berkeley, a master’s degree in international economics from Georgetown University and a master’s degree in business administration from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

“It is an honor to join the highly experienced and successful leadership team at Beacon, a company that is recognized as a high-performing innovator in building products distribution," said Gandhi. "I am excited about the opportunity to work with Julian again following our collaboration at Owens Corning and am eager to drive Beacon’s strategic plan forward to create value for all stakeholders.”
