Smith Douglas Homes Announces Leadership Changes

Smith Douglas Homes Corp. (NYSE: SDHC) announced two significant leadership changes within the organization that will support the company’s continued growth and success.

First, Eddy Kleid will be taking on the role of Division President for the company’s newly established Central Georgia Division. Eddy has been a valued member of the Smith Douglas team since 2017, serving as VP of Finance. During his tenure, Eddy has helped grow the finance team and played an integral part in the Company’s recent IPO.

Additionally, the company welcomes Joe Thomas as its new SVP of Accounting & Finance. Joe joins from Bank of America Securities, where he served as Director, providing corporate finance, M&A advisory, and capital raising support to REITs, operating companies, sponsors, and private investors in the real estate, homebuilding, gaming, and leisure sectors. Joe played a crucial role in the Smith Douglas IPO and brings a wealth of experience and insight to the team. He holds a BSBA in Accounting and Economics from Bucknell University and an MBA from Cornell University.

“Eddy’s entrepreneurial spirit and finance expertise make him a great choice to lead the new Central Georgia Division, while Joe is a natural fit to lead our Accounting and Finance teams, given his work history and background. We are excited about the future and the continued growth and success these leadership changes will bring,” said Greg Bennett, Chief Executive Officer of Smith Douglas Homes.
