Masco Corporation recently announced that Keith J. Allman, 51, will succeed Timothy Wadhams as president and CEO and will join Masco’s Board of Directors, effective February 14, 2014. 

Allman, who currently serves as a Masco group president, joined Masco in 1998 as vice president of manufacturing for cabinet maker Merillat Industries. In 2007, he became president of Delta Faucet Company. In 2011, he was promoted to group president and has responsibility for Masco’s Plumbing and North American Cabinet businesses. He holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from General Motors Institute and an MBA from the University of Michigan.

Allman will replace Wadhams, 65, who is retiring after a 37-year career with Masco. “I am pleased and excited that Keith will succeed me as Masco’s president and CEO,” said Wadhams. “Keith has a demonstrated track record of results reflecting his strong leadership and operational skills. Keith has not only played an integral role in developing our strategies to strengthen our brands and improve our execution, he has also led large, complex businesses in executing against these strategies for growth and value creation. I have worked closely with Keith and our leadership team over the past several years, and we have established the foundation on which Masco can build a successful future.”
