In addition to joining the board, Dellaquila will take on the role of Chair of the company’s Audit Committee, effective immediately. He replaces Robert D. Evans, who has resigned from the board.

Latham Group, Inc, the leading designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential pools across North America, Australia, and New Zealand, has announced the appointment of Frank J. Dellaquila as an independent member of its Board of Directors. 

In addition to joining the board, Dellaquila will take on the role of Chair of the company’s Audit Committee, effective immediately. He replaces Robert D. Evans, who has resigned from the board.

Frank J. Dellaquila brings a wealth of financial expertise and leadership to Latham, having had an extensive career at Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and automation company with a market capitalization exceeding $60 billion.

Dellaquila served as Emerson’s Chief Financial Officer from 2009 until his retirement in 2023, with additional leadership roles as Executive Vice President in 2012 and Senior Executive Vice President in 2016. His tenure at Emerson spanned over three decades, beginning in 1991 when he joined as Corporate Vice President and Treasurer.

Before his distinguished career at Emerson, Dellaquila held various financial positions at General Electric and Joseph E. Seagram and Sons, Inc. His extensive background in financial management and corporate governance positions him as a valuable asset to Latham Group as it continues to expand and innovate in the residential pool industry.

In addition to his new role at Latham, Dellaquila currently serves as a Board member and Audit Committee Chair of Reliance, Inc., and is also a Board member and Finance Committee member of FM, Inc., a privately held mutual insurance company.

Latham Group’s Strategic Vision

James C. Cline, Chairman of Latham Group, expressed enthusiasm over Dellaquila’s appointment, highlighting the executive’s extensive leadership experience and deep financial acumen. "We are very pleased to welcome Frank to Latham’s Board. He brings valuable executive leadership skills and financial credentials to the Company," Cline stated. "

Frank’s experience in supporting transformative growth, and broad knowledge of advanced technologies, will be an excellent resource for us as Latham continues to build awareness and adoption of fiberglass pools and automatic safety covers, while driving efficiencies through lean manufacturing and value engineering initiatives."

Dellaquila’s expertise is expected to play a key role in guiding Latham as it enhances its operational capabilities and broadens its market presence, particularly in innovative areas like fiberglass pool technology and automatic safety systems. These areas represent significant growth opportunities for the company, and Dellaquila’s financial leadership will be crucial in navigating the company’s strategic expansion.

A Tribute to Robert D. Evans

In announcing the leadership transition, Cline also took a moment to recognize the contributions of Robert D. Evans, who stepped down from Latham’s Board. "On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to recognize Bob Evans for his invaluable contributions to the Company and to thank him and wish him well in his retirement," Cline said.

Headquartered in Latham, New York, Latham Group, Inc. is the largest designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. The company operates with approximately 1,800 employees across 24 locations and continues to drive innovation and growth in the residential pool industry.
