Chris Macey Assumes Role as President and CEO of USG Corporation

USG Corporation marked the official leadership transition of Chris Macey to President and Chief Executive Officer on April 1, 2026. Chris Macey, a 30-year industry veteran who recently served as USG’s Chief Operating Officer, takes the helm following a planned succession process first announced earlier this year.

“I am honored to lead USG at such a pivotal moment,” said Chris Macey, President and CEO of USG Corporation. “Having spent 20 years with this company and three decades in this industry, I know that our customer-first culture is our greatest strength. My focus is on maintaining our momentum and ensuring we stay the course on the strategy that has made us an industry leader.”

During his two decades at USG, Macey has held leadership roles in every major North American division, including serving as President of USG’s Gypsum division and leading the company’s Canadian (CGC) and Latin American (USG LATAM) businesses.

Christopher Griffin, who served as President and CEO and led the company through a period of transformation and growth, will remain as CEO Emeritus through June 30, 2026, supporting the final phase of the transition. “It’s been the honor of my career to lead USG and work alongside such talented people. With Chris Macey at the helm, I know the company’s future is in excellent hands,” said Griffin.

With the leadership transition effective today, USG remains focused on its core priorities of safety, manufacturing innovation and being the best and easiest building materials manufacturer to do business with across its footprint of more than 70 facilities in North America. As the company enters its 125th year of operation, this transition marks the beginning of USG’s next chapter of growth and industry leadership.
