PGT Innovations Inc. elected Xavier Boza to its board of directors, effective March 1, 2021.
“We are excited to welcome Xavier as a new independent director to the PGT Innovations board, and especially value the significant experience he has gained in all aspects of human capital management, through serving in senior human resources roles with public and private companies for more than twenty years,” says Jeff Jackson, PGT Innovations’ CEO and president. “His addition will complement and enhance our board’s diversity of experiences, skills and perspectives, and result in our board being more reflective of the diversity of our customers and team members. We believe Xavier will provide valuable guidance and insight to our board and management team in the important areas of executive compensation and succession planning, and in our efforts to recruit, hire, develop and retain qualified employees throughout all levels of the Company, which is one of our strategic pillars that we believe is essential to enhancing shareholder value.”
Boza was appointed to serve on the board’s compensation committee, also effective March 1. He will serve as a Class I director and the board expects to nominate him to stand for election as a director at PGT Innovations’ 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with Boza’s appointment, the board increased its size from nine to 10 directors.
