JELD), a leading global manufacturer of building products, today
announced the appointment of Antonella B.
Franzen to its board of directors, effective March 1, 2024. Franzen will replace Suzanne Stefany, a JELD-WEN director since 2017,
who notified the board of her decision to not stand for
reelection.
"Antonella brings extensive expertise in finance, strategic
development and cultural transformation for large multinational
companies, and we are pleased to welcome her to the board," said
David Nord, JELD-WEN's board chair.
"As JELD-WEN strengthens the foundation of its business and
continues to take steps to unlock more value for all shareholders,
Antonella's extensive background in the industrial sector will be a

plants. Before joining DuPont, Franzen served at Johnson Controls
International plc, a global leader in building products and smart,
healthy and sustainable buildings, serving as the vice president,
chief investor relations and communications officer, from 2018 to
2022. Prior to the merger of Tyco International plc with Johnson
Controls in 2016, she held various roles of increasing
responsibility at Tyco from 2004 to 2016, including leading
investor relations, corporate finance and external reporting. She
began her career with PwC (formerly PricewaterhouseCoopers)
providing assurance advisory services to large multinational public
companies in the industrial and pharmaceutical
sectors. Franzen earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from

certified public accountant.
With the appointment of Franzen, and following Stefany's
departure, the company's board will remain at 10 directors,
