Lennox International Inc.’s Chairman & CEO Todd Bluedorn has announced his intentions to step down by mid-2022. After 15 years with the company, Bluedorn cited his desire to create a better balance between his personal and professional priorities. The Board of Directors has commenced its search for the company’s next CEO.
“It has been a privilege to lead LII these past 15 years and I’m extremely proud of all we’ve accomplished together,” said Bluedorn. “With an exceptional management team, hard-working and dedicated employees, key strategic investments in product, technology and distribution, and strong end markets, we are well-positioned for continued momentum in 2021 and beyond.”
“Todd Bluedorn instilled a high performing and innovative culture with a strong team that created tremendous value for our customers and shareholders,” said Todd Teske, Lead Independent Director for Lennox International. “His tenure at LII has been extraordinary.
