Bone Dry Roofing Adds New Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer

Bone Dry Roofing announced two new additions to its executive team. Tony Merlie is the company’s new chief financial officer, and Billy Smith joins as the company’s chief operating officer. Merlie and Smith round out the leadership team alongside owner and CEO Gene Judd, CIO Judd Haag and Matt Tyner, who joined as the company’s CMO earlier this year.

“Bone Dry Roofing continues to grow and expand, and that’s primarily due to our people,” said Judd. “We’re gaining ample leadership and expertise by bringing on these two individuals who both come with impressive careers that have exemplified a commitment to mentorship, leadership and strategic thinking. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the team.”

The hiring of a new CFO and COO comes on the heels of impressive financial performance in 2023 that included revenue of over $183 million. Bone Dry Roofing’s total team count also reached 550, the highest in company history.

“The team atmosphere and commitment to excellence in customer service drew me to Bone Dry Roofing,” said Merlie. “Speaking to Gene and other team members, it was clear the customer-focused culture was authentic and apparent in all aspects of the business. I’m excited to help Bone Dry Roofing continue its journey up the ladder.”

Merlie brings more than 20 years of leadership in financial reporting, modeling and analysis to Bone Dry Roofing. The Illinois Wesleyan University graduate went on to earn his Master of Business Administration degree from Purdue University. Prior to joining Bone Dry Roofing, Merlie worked for more than a decade in various roles including serving as Chief Accounting Officer for a premier global manufacturer. 

“Joining Bone Dry Roofing is a natural fit for me,” said Smith. “The company’s operations are quite expansive, as they are active in multiple markets and provide a growing list of services. This is something I’m excited about as I believe I can play an important role in helping the company continue to grow while keeping the top quality and customer experience they have a reputation for as the top priority.”

Smith has spent nearly two decades working in operations roles at multiple industry-leading organizations. The former United States Air Force aircraft mechanic most recently was Vice President of Service and Construction for an industrial and commercial solutions company.
