Ms. O'Farrell has been a senior financial executive holding several roles with The Home Depot since 1999. As the Vice President of Finance, she led teams supporting the retail organization. Most recently, she was responsible for the finance function for The Home Depot's At Home Services Group.

Her broad-based experience in consulting coupled with her senior executive leadership roles in the building materials industry make her ideally suited to help drive BlueLinx' financial success and strategic direction in the years ahead."
To assist in the transition, Mr. Goforth has agreed to serve in an advisory capacity until early June.
