This is a client I've supported for YEARS. Available now. Up for relocation and a true needle mover. MOST PLACEABLE CANDIDATE | Chief Operating Officer — Building Materials Distribution PRIMO is representing a battle-tested COO who has spent 25+ years climbing the ranks in building materials distribution — from Product Specialist to Chief Operating Officer — at a rapidly scaling, (now) PE-backed distributor. What makes this candidate exceptional: 🔹 Enterprise Growth — Drove operational strategy behind acquisitions and greenfield expansion that helped more than double company EBITDA in four years. 🔹 Branch Transformation - Too many turnaround stories to mention here. 🔹 Leadership Pipeline - Built a succession bench that produced VPs, Regional Managers, and multiple Branch Managers — this leader develops leaders, not just results. 🔹 Strategic Partnerships - Negotiated supplier rebate agreements generating millions in recurring annual revenue. This is a rare combination: an operator who has lived every rung of the ladder in building materials distribution, understands multi-site P&L, fleet/safety/logistics, and knows how to scale a founder or PE-backed business without losing operational discipline. If you're a building materials distributor scaling through acquisition or greenfield growth and need operational leadership to match your ambition, let's talk. #ExecutiveSearch #COO #BuildingMaterials #Distribution #Leadership #PRIMO
