John Barkhouse to Build on GAFs Growth as Incoming CEO
John Barkhouse will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer at GAF on January 1, 2026, succeeding John Altmeyer, who will move to Executive Chairman. Barkhouse joined GAF as President last year, overseeing key areas such as Manufacturing and Supply Chain. Co-CEOs David Winter and David Millstone highlighted his operational excellence and commitment to continuous improvement. Altmeyer, who has led GAF since 2023, oversaw significant growth and investment in new facilities during his tenure. He expressed confidence in Barkhouse's ability to lead the company forward.
The new ordinance in Parsippany permitting retail cannabis operations reflects broader changes in local governance, alongside GAF's corporate transition. Both developments indicate a shift towards modernization and adaptation in their respective sectors. The collaboration between Altmeyer and Barkhouse is expected to ensure stability as GAF continues its growth trajectory.
