Builders FirstSource has named Peter Jackson, the company’s current chief financial officer, as the company’s next president, CEO, and member of its board of directors, effective Nov. 6.

Jackson will succeed Dave Rush, who has served as CEO since November 2022 and is retiring after 25 years of service to the company. Rush will remain on the board of directors and continue as a special advisor to ensure a smooth transition.

“I am humbled and honored to be selected as the next CEO of Builders FirstSource,” says Jackson. “I look forward to building on our tremendous foundation and the strong legacy that Dave and our past leaders have established.”

Jackson has nearly 30 years of leadership experience, including 17 years in building products and seven years with Builders FirstSource. As CFO, Jackson was instrumental in the development, execution, and achievement of its growth strategy, including overseeing capital allocation and mergers, leading digital transformation, and architecting the business intelligence platform.

“Peter’s appointment as the company’s next CEO underscores the board’s steadfast commitment to excellence in our leadership team, and is the result of a thoughtful succession planning process,” says Paul Levy, chair of the board of directors. “As a respected industry leader across the company by our team members, customers, and the investment community, Peter is the perfect choice to lead Builders FirstSource into our next phase of profitable growth.”

Pete Beckmann, senior vice president, financial planning and analysis, will succeed Jackson as CFO.

Beckmann has been with Builders FirstSource and legacy companies since 1999. In his current position, he is the lead financial partner to operations, supporting all levels of the enterprise, including reporting and analysis, short- and long-term forecasting, strategic and annual planning, and capital investment analysis.

“Further, I’m thrilled that Pete is stepping into the role of CFO,” continues Jackson. “He has a proven track record as a finance leader, and I look forward to continuing to partner with him to deliver exceptional results and compounding shareholder value.”
