Titan America S.A. (NYSE: TTAM), a leading vertically integrated producer of cement and building materials serving the U.S. East Coast, is pleased to announce a strategic leadership transition within its Florida operations. Effective immediately, Jason Morin has been appointed President of Titan America’s Florida Business Unit. He succeeds Randy Dunlap, who has held the role since 2014 and will continue to serve the company in a newly created role as Executive Director, Growth & Strategy. Both Jason and Randy will serve on Titan America’s Executive Committee, reflecting their continued importance to the organization’s strategic direction.
This appointment marks a significant milestone for Titan America as it positions its Florida operations for the next phase of growth, innovation, and value creation. Jason Morin will lead one of the company’s most expansive and vital business units, comprising a broad footprint that includes the Pennsuco cement plant—Florida’s largest—alongside the adjacent aggregate facility, 40 ready-mix concrete plants, eight concrete block facilities, three quarries, two fly ash plants, and several strategically located marine and rail terminals.
A Proven Leader in Building Materials and Industrial Strategy
Jason Morin brings to Titan America a distinguished track record of leadership in the heavy industrial and building materials sectors. His career spans more than two decades, during which he has consistently demonstrated the ability to drive operational excellence, foster strategic partnerships, and lead teams through complex business transformations.
Jason’s professional journey began with service as an officer in the U.S. Army, where he developed leadership qualities and a mission-driven approach that would shape the trajectory of his civilian career. Transitioning to the private sector, Jason joined General Electric, where he held multiple positions in strategic sourcing and operations management. His early exposure to best-in-class industrial practices and corporate strategy at GE laid a strong foundation for his future endeavors in the building materials sector.
In 2001, Jason entered the cement and construction materials industry through Holcim, one of the world’s leading suppliers of cement and aggregates. During his tenure at Holcim, he served in a variety of leadership roles including Production Manager, Plant Manager, Vice President of Environmental & Government Affairs, and ultimately Vice President of Manufacturing. These roles provided him with extensive experience in both operational leadership and regulatory affairs—critical areas in an industry deeply connected to infrastructure development, environmental stewardship, and public policy.
In 2015, Jason joined Summit Materials’ Continental Cement division, where he played a key leadership role during a transformative period for the business. Notably, he helped integrate a major acquisition, working closely with teams across operations and sales to ensure a seamless transition and sustained growth. His performance led to further executive responsibilities, highlighting his ability to navigate complexity while delivering results.
In 2019, Jason was appointed CEO of Black Mountain Sand, a rapidly growing provider of proppant solutions for the energy industry. During his time there, he led the organization through dynamic market shifts, championing innovation and operational agility. Most recently, Jason founded Rearden Advisors, an advisory firm dedicated to helping industrial clients enhance their operations and explore strategic growth opportunities through mergers, acquisitions, and business transformation.
Jason holds a bachelor’s degree in Engineering & Management from Clarkson University and an MBA from Missouri State University, reinforcing his balanced approach to both technical and business challenges.
Continuing a Legacy of Excellence and Strategic Focus
Randy Dunlap, who has served as President of the Florida Business Unit for over a decade, will transition into the role of Executive Director, Growth & Strategy. In this newly established position, Randy will lead high-priority growth initiatives and long-term planning efforts across Titan America’s operations. His in-depth knowledge of the industry and proven leadership will be invaluable as the company explores new markets, expands capacity, and accelerates innovation in its product and service offerings.
Under Randy’s leadership, Titan America’s Florida operations experienced sustained growth, operational optimization, and deepened community engagement. He played a critical role in enhancing the company’s reputation as a reliable and responsible building materials provider, all while strengthening its market presence across the state. His future contributions in the realm of corporate strategy will help ensure that Titan America remains agile and competitive in an evolving economic landscape.
