Holcim announced the designated executive leadership team for Amrize, the company’s planned North American spin-off. The appointments mark a key step in the transition to Amrize becoming an independent, publicly traded building solutions provider focused exclusively on the North American market.

Among the appointments is Jake Gosa, who will serve as president of the Building Envelope division. With nearly three decades of leadership in the building industry, Gosa brings deep expertise across the entire building products value chain—from manufacturing to distribution. He most recently served as executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Beacon Building Products, where he held a series of leadership roles over nearly 20 years. His earlier experience includes key roles at the former Elk Building Products Corp., now known as GAF Roofing. Gosa is expected to help propel Building Envelope and its portfolio of industry-leading brands into its next phase of strategic growth.

“I’m thrilled to join this team and honored to lead Building Envelope as we work together toward our bright future, defined by innovation, high performance, and an unwavering focus on our customers,” Gosa said. “We will continue our commitment to delivering the exceptional service and partnership our customers expect, across our comprehensive portfolio of building envelope solutions. Together, we are building something truly special with Amrize.”

Jan Jenisch, chairman of Holcim, said, “Our world-class executive leadership team brings deep expertise and a proven track record of performance. Our leadership includes key Holcim executives who have driven our success, along with new leaders from top U.S. companies with strong North American market knowledge. Together, we will unlock value for all stakeholders and lead our next era of growth.”
