Hardy Wentzel

I am a values-driven leader, growth driver, and experienced front-runner in the wood products industry. I am a global executive with experience in Europe, the U.S. and Canada, with a passion for bringing to market transformative wood building solutions.I believe that passionate people motivated by a shared purpose can achieve amazing things. I am proud to have contributed to creating powerful cultures which bring out the best in teams and enable them to achieve great results.I believe in accountability, integrity, and fostering a respectful values-based work environment. As a wood products professional with an international track record of progressive growth and success spanning nearly four decades, I am proud to be known as a “wood head.” Most recently, I led Structurlam from a regional, British Columbia-based business to a North American mass timber leader with significantly greater revenue, market presence, and tripling the company’s manufacturing capacity. I am excited to start my next chapter and want to explore new opportunities to drive growth and positively impact organizational potential to deliver value to shareholders, associates, partners, and the communities where we live, work and play.I enjoy connecting with other like-minded individuals committed to solving the biggest challenges the wood industry will face tomorrow.
