SageHome Inc., the largest provider of aging-in-place bath remodeling services in the United States, has announced a strategic leadership transition. Co-founder and CEO Brian Hutto has been appointed Vice Chairman of the SageHome board, a move that will allow him to focus on other commercial commitments while still contributing his extensive industry knowledge and insights to the company. Joe Gorman, also a co-founder and the current Chief Operating Officer, has been promoted to Chief Executive Officer.
Joe Gorman brings a wealth of experience in leadership, strategy, and operations to his new role. He has previously served as COO for Barnes & Noble and GNC and has held senior positions at Home Depot. His proven track record at SageHome and across the broader retail landscape makes him well-suited to guide the company through its next phase of growth.
Lee Hess, Chairman of SageHome, stated, "On behalf of everyone at SageHome, I would like to congratulate Joe on his new role. As a co-founder of SageHome, he was the obvious successor to Brian – their vision and goals for the business have been completely aligned from the very outset and Joe has played a pivotal role in SageHome's growth. We expect this transition to be seamless and that SageHome will continue on its successful growth trajectory. Additionally, I am particularly pleased to have Brian Hutto take on the critical role of Vice Chairman, where his strategic insights will be of greatest benefit to the company."
Stuart Whiteford, Managing Director at Cairngorm Capital, the investment firm behind SageHome, also praised the leadership transition. "We would like to thank Brian for his considerable contribution and dedication to SageHome during a period of intense growth. We extend our congratulations to Joe, who is a very worthy successor and who we are confident will lead SageHome with the same vision and commitment, ensuring the continued success and growth of the company. Thanks to their combined leadership, SageHome is in great shape and ready to take full advantage of the opportunities that await it."
Under Joe Gorman's leadership, SageHome has achieved remarkable growth. In just three years, the company has expanded its presence from six states to 24, tripled its headcount, and quadrupled its revenue to $160 million. Joe attributes this success to the collective efforts of the entire SageHome team, emphasizing that these milestones were achieved without compromising the company's values or principles as an employer.
