Andersen Corp. welcomed Ryan Williams to the company's executive leadership team as the new president of the Andersen Division. Williams will lead the company's largest and most diverse business, both in terms of product variety and customer segments, serving the new residential, home improvement and light commercial market segments through diverse distribution channels and partners.
Williams brings 20 years of operational leadership experience at industrial companies to Andersen, most recently serving as president of the Global Fluid Conveyance Division at Danfoss, a Danish industrial company. Prior to Danfoss, Williams spent 18 years at Eaton, where he held a variety of roles including president of the Americas region, vice president of global fluid conveyance products and other leadership positions in the areas of engineering, product management and business unit strategy. Earlier in his career, Williams held leadership positions at Calphalon, including director of channel marketing and program manager of new product development.
"Ryan joins Andersen at a time of growth and opportunity," says Jay Lund, Andersen chairman and CEO. "As president of the Andersen Division, Ryan will play a pivotal role building on the longstanding legacy we have built with our trade customers and channel partners, expanding our offerings and elevating the experiences we deliver to delight customers at every touchpoint."
Williams will lead the Andersen Division sales and service teams and product portfolio management and will have oversight for the divisional responsibilities of the enterprise manufacturing, logistics, technology and RD&I functions.
"Ryan's diverse background and wide range of experiences complement the strengths and expertise of our team and our longstanding commitment to being different and better," says Chris Galvin, Andersen Corp. president and chief operating officer.
Williams will report to Galvin. Renewal by Andersen, the company's full-service window replacement division, will continue to report to Troy Barrow, president of Renewal by Andersen, who also reports to Galvin.
