Jay Steinfeld

Masonite International Corp. announced last week that Jay Steinfeld the founder and CEO of Global Custom Commerce (Blinds.com) has been appointed to fill a vacancy on the company’s Board of Directors. The appointment was effective immediately.

Steinfeld transformed his startup, Global Custom Commerce (GCC), into a leading online window covering retailer, which was acquired by The Home Depot in 2014. He remained CEO and later joined The Home Depot Online Leadership Team. Since stepping away from GCC and The Home Depot earlier this year, Steinfeld has increased his involvement on private company boards while teaching entrepreneurship at Rice University’s Jones Graduate School of Business and supporting numerous charities.

“As an early mover in e-commerce and a proven innovative leader, Jay brings extensive knowledge of the building products industry and customers to the Masonite Board of Directors,” said Robert J. Byrne, chairman of the Board of Directors. “We are pleased to add Jay to our Board and look forward to his contributions.”
