McGowan is currently SVP and general manager of the Hilti North America East Market Organization. In his new role as CEO and region head, he will additionally serve on the Hilti Group executive management team.

“For more than 35 years, I have been committed to Hilti, its team members, and its customers,” McGowan said in a prepared statement. “Since the early days of my career, the construction industry has been my passion. I look forward to continuing to build on an already strong foundation of success by working alongside the more than 4,000 team members who have chosen to make Hilti North America their professional home.”
