Louisiana-Pacific Corp (LPX) has appointed Lynn Cobb as Vice President of Marketing, effective immediately. Cobb brings over 25 years of marketing leadership experience and is expected to enhance LP's market presence and customer value through strategic growth initiatives. Her appointment is seen as a positive move towards more aggressive market expansion and innovation, potentially leading to increased revenue streams and a stronger market position for LPX.

Cobb will lead the development and execution of LP’s commercial strategy, working in close partnership with the company’s Sales, Supply Chain, and Customer Experience teams. She will oversee brand management, product innovation, and commercialization initiatives designed to drive demand and deepen customer engagement. Cobb’s expertise in developing and executing commercial strategies, along with her focus on brand and customer experience, will be instrumental in strengthening LP's market presence and delivering greater value to its customers [1].

The appointment comes at a critical time for LPX, which has shown resilience in its Siding segment despite facing challenges such as lower OSB prices and increased tariff expenses. The company's Form 10-Q report for the second quarter of 2025 highlights an 11% increase in net sales, driven primarily by higher sales volumes and selling prices in the Siding segment [2]. This growth is attributed to the durability and market appeal of LP’s SmartSide and ExpertFinish products.

During the latest earnings call, CEO William Bradley Southern emphasized the continued growth in the Siding segment, noting that "LP's Siding segment executed our strategy and achieved a record quarter for volume, revenue, and EBITDA." Southern reported that Siding revenue grew by 11% compared to last year, partially offsetting a negative $102 million impact from lower OSB prices [3].

Cobb's appointment is expected to further bolster LPX's market position by leveraging her extensive experience in brand management and customer experience. Her background includes senior roles at Procter & Gamble, Agilent Technologies, DuPont, Ropes Wealth Advisory, and MasterBrand Inc. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and an MBA from Bowling Green State University [1].

The appointment of Cobb aligns with LPX's strategic focus on innovation and customer value. As LPX continues to navigate market challenges, Cobb's leadership will be crucial in driving growth and maintaining LPX's competitive edge.
