Owens Corning recently announced that its Board of Directors has elected Michael C. McMurray to the position of senior vice president and chief financial officer, effective immediately. He replaces Duncan J. Palmer, who has elected to leave the company to join Reed-Elsevier.

“We are excited about Michael assuming the role of CFO and maintaining strong continuity of our financial leadership,” said Michael H. Thaman, chairman and CEO. “We are also grateful for Duncan’s significant contributions to the company over the past five years and wish him the very best in his new opportunity.”

McMurray joined Owens Corning in 2008 after more than two decades of finance experience with Royal Dutch Shell. At Owens Corning, he has served as vice president of Investor Relations, treasurer and, most recently, as vice president and finance leader of the company’s Building Materials Group.
