Roseburg Forest Products announces that Stuart Gray officially assumed the role of President and CEO on Oct. 1, 2023, finalizing a leadership transition first announced in July of this year. Grady Mulbery, who served as the company’s top leader for the past seven years, retired on Sept. 30.
Earlier this year, Roseburg’s Board of Directors unanimously approved Gray’s appointment to the company’s top leadership position as part of a planned succession process with Mulbery’s retirement. As part of the transition, Mulbery will remain on Roseburg’s board of directors through the end of 2023 and serve as an executive advisor through 2024.
Gray joined Roseburg six years ago, and was most recently responsible for the company’s manufacturing business as chief operating officer — a role he assumed in January 2022. Prior to joining Roseburg in 2017, Gray worked in the construction and building supply industry in various business and legal roles, spending over 12 years at The Home Depot, two years at Sears Holding Corp., and a number of years in the construction legal industry.
