Flack Global Metals has hired metals industry veteran Ben Markham as chief commercial officer. Markham brings 30 years of senior management experience to FGM and will play a key role in the leadership, design and execution of the company’s commercial development activities and corporate branding.
Markham, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, has extensive experience in flat-rolled steel, aluminum, stainless and coil coating across all FGM’s targeted market segments, including HVAC, appliance, automotive, truck/trailer, construction and consumer products, as well as unique experience in the paint and protective film industries.
“We are thrilled to have Ben join the Flack team,” said FGM Founder and CEO Jeremy Flack. “His deep metals experience across all verticals will continue to push our organization in its drive to redefine what consumers can expect from the metal distribution industry. Ben’s unique experience in the coil coating, paint and protective film industries will also be very valuable as we continue to leverage new opportunities to expand our offering – including the coil-coating and metal processing facility we recently announced.”
