Window and door giant Andersen Corporation has promoted Andrea Nordaune to senior vice president, chief legal officer and corporate secretary. This decision follows the retirement of Alan Bernick, who served the company for 23 years.
Nordaune began working with Andersen in 2000 as a senior attorney and steadily climbed the ranks. Her most recent position was vice president, general counsel and assistant corporate secretary.
“Andrea’s deep understanding of our industry, coupled with her exemplary judgment, make her the perfect person to lead our legal department,” said Chris Galvin, Andersen president and chief executive officer. “I have no doubt that she will play a pivotal role in guiding and protecting our business interests as we continue to grow the business, expand employment opportunities, and support our local communities.”
In her new position, she will report directly to Galvin and will be a member of the company’s executive committee. Nordaune is the first woman appointed to this executive-level position. She will oversee a team of over 25 highly skilled professionals in the legal, audit and procurement, compliance and regulatory affairs departments.
Alongside her responsibilities at Andersen, Nordaune also serves as Andersen’s representative on the board of directors of the Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) and is a member of the Association’s executive committee.
