Pella Corporation has announced that Emily Videtto will become its next President and Chief Executive Officer on 1 July 2026. The appointment follows a planned succession strategy by the board of directors. Videtto will take over the chief executive responsibilities from Tim Yaggi, who is set to retire after a ten-year period of growth at the firm.
Videtto has held several senior roles during her decade at Pella, including Chief Marketing Officer and most recently President and Chief Operating Officer. She is credited with leading brand revitalisation and expanding distribution channels. Adam Farver, Chairman of the Board, Pella Corporation, said: “On behalf of the board and shareholder family, I want to thank Tim for leading Pella through an extraordinary decade of growth, transformation, and long‑term value creation. Under his leadership, the company strengthened its market standing and is well-positioned for the future. There is no one better than Emily Videtto to build on that momentum. Emily is a visionary leader who has been central to shaping Pella’s growth strategy and operating model. She brings deep knowledge of the business and industry, proven results, and an unwavering commitment to Pella’s customers, culture and people.”
John F. Lundgren, Lead Director of the Board, added: “Pella’s last decade has been an incredible chapter of transformation. From the Board’s perspective, Tim is leaving Pella as a fundamentally stronger company — operationally, culturally, and strategically. Emily has been instrumental to this success and is well-prepared to step into the CEO role and lead Pella forward with continuity, discipline, and long-term focus.”
Before her time at Pella, Videtto worked at GAF and now sits on the board of American Woodmark. She also chaired the Window and Door Manufacturing Association from 2024 to 2025. Emily Videtto said: “I am honored to lead a company I’ve grown with and deeply believe in. Our success is grounded in an ambitious growth strategy and a culture of bold caring, and I’m committed to carrying that forward while championing our broader purpose of providing great careers for our team members, exceptional experiences and innovative solutions for our customers and continued investment in the communities Pella serves.”
Tim Yaggi’s leadership saw Pella grow from 6,000 to over 10,000 employees while achieving 2.5X revenue growth. Yaggi said: “After 10 years, I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built and the team across our family of brands who made it possible. Emily has been a trusted partner and driving force behind our growth and operations. Her deep expertise, proven enterprise leadership and exceptional character, make her uniquely prepared to build on the momentum of the past decade and lead Pella confidently into the future.”
