“Ron epitomizes the best of LATICRETE’s continuous focus on development and grooming of the next generation of leaders within our own corporate family,” said Patrick Millot, CEO of LATICRETE. “His energy, loyalty to our customers and passion for growth have and will continue to serve our company well.“
Nash joined LATICRETE in 2004 as a regional sales manager for the southwestern United States. He’s been responsible for North American sales of LATICRETE products since 2017 and became senior vice president two years later.

After July 1, Metcalf will remain as a special advisor to the company to ensure a smooth transition and will leave the company by the end of 2021.

“We are so grateful to Ed for his outstanding career with LATICRETE and for developing Ron as a great successor. He will always be a member of our family,” Rothberg added. “Ed’s remarkable tenure, as well as Ron’s growth within the company over the past two decades, demonstrate that successfully planning and implementing a long-term succession plan is at the core of who we are as a family-owned company.”
