Bill Courtney has served as chief executive officer through the evolution of what is now ClarkDietrich since 1985. He joined Clark Steel Framing in 1984 when he accepted the position of vice president after graduating with an MBA degree from Southern Methodist University in Dallas that same year. In 1985, he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to become Clark Steel Framing’s chief executive officer. He helped transform the 20-person construction products company into the nation’s top producer of steel framing materials through a series of mergers and acquisitions that culminated with the merger of ClarkWestern Building Systems and Dietrich Metal Framing in 2011. Today, the company employs 1,400 people across 17 facilities. Following his retirement in 2018, Bill joined the board of Ohio Valley GoodWill Industries and currently serves as Board Chairman.
