With current CEO Dave Rush retiring, CFO Peter Jackson will assume the position in early November.

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.
