Jason Morin, Titan America's new Florida Business Unit President

Jason will be based in Deerfield Beach, Florida and report directly to President & CEO Bill Zarkalis. We expect that Jason will lead the Florida Business Unit of Titan America into a new chapter of topline growth, margin expansion, and value creation while strengthening ongoing relationships with customers, suppliers, and communities where Titan America operates. The Florida Business Unit includes the Pennsuco cement plant and adjacent aggregate plant, both the largest of their kind in Florida, as well as 40 ready-mix plants, three quarries, eight concrete block plants, two fly ash plants, along with rail and marine import terminals.

Jason Morin brings a wealth of industry experience and expertise to Titan America’s leadership team. After service as an officer in the US Army, he began his commercial career at General Electric working in multiple strategic sourcing and operations leadership roles. He entered the heavy materials industry in 2001 with Holcim, serving as Production Manager, Plant Manager, VP of Environmental & Government Affairs, and VP of Manufacturing. In 2015, Jason joined Summit Materials’ Continental Cement division, helping to integrate a major acquisition with executive leadership positions in operations and sales. In 2019, Jason was appointed CEO of Black Mountain Sand, where he served until 2023. Most recently, Jason founded Rearden Advisors, providing industrial clients with advisory services in the areas of operational excellence and strategic mergers and acquisitions. Jason holds a bachelor’s degree from Clarkson University in Engineering & Management and an MBA from Missouri State University.

Randy Dunlap will transition roles to serve as Executive Director, Growth & Strategy to focus on strategic growth efforts across Titan America. After more than a decade as the Florida Business Unit President, Randy has made significant contributions in the development of the business.

“I welcome Jason to the Titan America executive leadership team and to the Titan family,” says Bill Zarkalis, President & CEO of Titan America. “Jason’s deep industry experience and expertise will be critical to the growth of our Florida business in the coming months and years. I also would like to express my deep gratitude and admiration to Randy for his years of service to our company, especially the last 11 years in which we worked closely together on our Executive Committee. I’m sure he will continue his track record of success in his new role as our Executive Director, Growth & Strategy.”

“I am honored by the opportunity to join the Titan family at this exciting point in the company’s history,” says Jason Morin, President, Florida Business Unit at Titan America. “I look forward to working with Bill, Randy, and the rest of the leadership team in delivering innovative products and solutions to our customers.”
