Longtime executive will oversee homebuilding operations across the company's 11-market footprint
ERLANGER, Ky., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fischer Homes has named Jason Finch president as the privately held home builder positions its operations for continued growth across the Midwest and Southeast.
The move separates the president and chief operating officer roles into two distinct positions, part of a broader leadership structure designed to support the company's plans for significant growth in the years ahead. With approximately 800 associates and homebuilding operations in 11 markets, Fischer Homes is strengthening its leadership structure to support greater alignment, operational consistency, and long-term expansion. In his new role, Finch will oversee the execution of the company's homebuilding strategy across its growing market footprint. Jay Smith will continue to serve as chief operating officer, a role he has held since 2023.
"Jason has consistently demonstrated the leadership, business judgment and ability to develop strong teams that this role requires," said Tim McMahon, CEO of The Fischer Group. "He understands how to turn strategy into results while keeping people at the center of the business. His talent, experience and proven record make him the right leader to guide Fischer Homes through its next phase of growth."
Finch joined Fischer Homes in 2013 and has held increasingly senior roles in sales, division operations, and regional leadership. Most recently, he served as region president for the South Region, where he helped strengthen performance, leadership capabilities, and operational consistency across multiple markets.
As president, Finch will focus on aligning operations across the company's divisions, strengthening collaboration among key business functions and developing the leadership and infrastructure needed to support long-term growth.
"I am honored to take on this role and excited about the opportunity ahead for Fischer Homes," Finch said. "We have talented teams, strong markets and a clear commitment to delivering an exceptional experience for our homebuyers. I look forward to building on that foundation, strengthening how we work across the organization and positioning Fischer Homes for sustainable growth in the years ahead."
