The board of Masco Corp. named Timothy Wadhams chief executive officer; Donald J. DeMarie Jr., executive vice president; John G. Sznewajs, vice president/chief financial officer; and Richard Manoogian, executive chairman. These appointments went into effect July 1.

DeMarie, who was Masco’s group president for the Installation and Other Services segment, will continue to oversee that segment. He also will assume an increasing leadership role for Masco operating divisions as Alan Barry, Masco’s president and chief operating officer, transitions toward his previously announced retirement in early 2008.

Sznewajs will remain treasurer and continue to oversee the corporate development function he directed as vice president for corporate development. Manoogian was formerly the CEO and is only the second chairman and CEO in Masco’s 78-year history. As executive chairman he will remain actively involved with corporate strategy and other business matters as well as external activities and relations, including those with business, government and community leaders.

Geberit AG announced that William Christensen, CEO of Geberit North America/The Chicago Faucet Co., based in Des Plaines, IL, will relocate to the Geberit corporate office in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland, and lead marketing for Geberit.

Detailed transition plans have been developed and the changes in management roles and responsibility will occur during August 2007.

Most recently, Sipek served for five years as president and CEO of Western Industries. He has more than 30 years’ experience in the manufacturing industry, including a stint at Rexnord Corp. that began in 1975. He held numerous positions there, which ultimately led to his being named group president of marketing, sales and field operations in 2000, responsible for all of Rexnord’s commercial and distribution functions. Sipek will assist Bill Anderson, CEO, with leading the company’s continuous improvement and innovation programs. Sipek will assume leadership of the company as CEO when Anderson retires later this year.
