Andersen Names Andrea Nordaune Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary

Andersen Corporation appointed Andrea Nordaune as its senior vice president, chief legal officer and corporate secretary. This decision follows the retirement of Alan Bernick, who served the company for 23 years.

Nordaune's responsibilities and experience

Nordaune began working with Andersen in 2000, established herself as a senior attorney and steadily climbed the ranks. Her most recent position was vice president, general counsel and assistant corporate secretary.

In her new position, Nordaune will report directly to Chris Galvin, president and CEO, and she will be a member of the company's Executive Committee. Nordaune is the first woman appointed to this executive-level position. She will oversee a team of more than 25 professionals in the legal, audit, procurement, compliance and regulatory affairs departments.

Alongside her responsibilities at Andersen, Nordaune also serves as Andersen's representative on the board of directors of the Window & Door Manufacturers Association and is a member of the association's executive committee. Through Andrea's board membership, she works to promote, protect and advance the use of high-performance, high-quality windows, doors and skylights through advocacy, education, standards and certification to improve upon the industry as a whole.

What the company says

"Andrea's deep understanding of our industry, coupled with her exemplary judgment, make her the perfect person to lead our legal department," says Galvin. "I have no doubt that she will play a pivotal role in guiding and protecting our business interests as we continue to grow the business, expand employment opportunities and support our local communities."

Bernick's retirement

Galvin also shared his gratitude for Bernick's contributions throughout his tenure.

"We thank Alan for his many years of service and wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement," says Galvin. "His expertise and unwavering commitment have played a significant role in shaping our organization. Alan leaves behind a remarkable legacy, and we are grateful for the lasting impact he has made."
