Cowart brings decades of leadership experience across the home improvement industry to his new role. He has held senior positions at Marvin’s, Lowe’s, The Home Depot, and most recently served as CEO of Fulcrum Building Group.
Cowart and Orgill president and CEO, Boyden Moore, worked together for years at Marvin’s Building Materials in Alabama. “I have had the pleasure of working alongside Craig over the past 34 years in many different situations and know him to be a dedicated and excellent leader,” said Moore.”I couldn’t be happier to have him take over leadership of CNRG. He will do a great job.”
Sieggreen echoed these comments, saying “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as president of CNRG and I can’t think of a better successor than Craig Cowart. I look forward to seeing the business continue to advance in the years to come under Craig’s guidance.”
Cowart will report to EVP and COO Clay Jackson, who joined Orgill in January after a 20-year career with Tractor Supply.
“I am honored to be given the opportunity to lead CNRG through its next chapter,” said Cowart. “We have a solid team in place and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together.”
