Calhoun, Ga.—Mohawk Flooring North America has announced today Tom Lape will begin his transition toward retirement and Jeff Meadows will succeed him as president, residential sales. In his new role, Meadows will lead sales for all residential channels for soft surface, wood and laminate and resilient product categories, effective immediately.

Meadows has a proven track record of building successful teams and strong customer relationships. He joined Mohawk in 2012 as vice president, national accounts before progressing to his most recent role as senior vice president, residential sales.
