MILTON, Ont. — ROCKWOOL Group has announced that Trent Ogilvie is stepping down after 25 years as president of ROCKWOOL North America. Rory Moss, currently managing director of ROCKWOOL Nordics, will take over the role effective April 1. “I want to thank Trent for his long years of service to ROCKWOOL and for the successes he helped create in our North American business,” Jens Birgersson, CEO of ROCKWOOL Group, said in a release. Ogilvie built up the North American business from a small, unprofitable operation with 60 employees in 1995 to one with 1,000 employees and sales worth hundreds of millions of dollars today.
Moss started with the business in 2007 as VP for retail sales in North America, where he developed the residential business in Canada and executed a successful growth-driven strategy in the United States. In 2014, he became managing director at ROCKWOOL UK, where he led the profitable turnaround and growth of the UK and Ireland business. In 2017, he relocated to Denmark to assume responsibility for the Nordic division. Trent Ogilvie remains in an advisory capacity through the end of this year.
