CNRG Names New President

Central Network Retail Group (CNRG)—a wholly owned subsidiary of Orgill, comprised of 143 stores and 18 brands in 16 states—announced that Craig Cowart has been promoted to the role of company president. Cowart had been serving as chief operating officer for CNRG since January 2024. Cowart replaces John Sieggreen as CNRG president, who will retire from Orgill during the second quarter of 2026.

Cowart brings decades of leadership experience across the home improvement industry to his new role. He has held senior positions at Marvin’s, Lowe’s, The Home Depot and most recently served as CEO of Fulcrum Building Group. Cowart and Orgill president and CEO, Boyden Moore, worked together for years at Marvin’s Building Materials in Alabama.

“I have had the pleasure of working alongside Craig over the past 34 years in many different situations and know him to be a dedicated and excellent leader,” Moore says. “I couldn’t be happier to have him take over leadership of CNRG. He will do a great job.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as president of CNRG, and I can’t think of a better successor than Craig Cowart,” Sieggreen says. “I look forward to seeing the business continue to advance in the years to come under Craig’s guidance.”

Cowart will report to EVP and COO Clay Jackson, who joined Orgill in January after a 20-year career with Tractor Supply.

“I am honored to be given the opportunity to lead CNRG through its next chapter,” Cowart says. “We have a solid team in place, and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together.”
