Howard S. Cohen has seen his holdings fluctuate significantly over his career at BlueLinx. In 2008, during his tenure as Interim CEO, he accumulated substantial wealth, making over $3 million that year alone with a mix of salaries and stock options. However, as the company evolved, he transitioned from an executive role to non-executive Chairman. By 2013, Cohen's assets had shifted, and he earned a total of $860,691, primarily through vested performance shares. His strategic decisions have kept him closely tied to the company’s stock performance, reflecting his long-term commitment. Despite stepping back from a day-to-day executive role, Cohen retains a significant stake in the company, a testament to his ongoing belief in BlueLinx’s potential for growth. Now, as he guides the company from a different angle, he continues to influence its direction significantly.
