High Caliber Market Leader for National Plumbing Wholesaler and Industrial Supplies

- 0 years experience
 

General Manager – Northeast Branch Turnaround & South Florida Expansion | Now located in South Florida – very willing to travel extensively to be a highly productive team member!

  • Delivered sustained margin improvement of 150+ basis points year-over-year for three consecutive years during a full operational turnaround in Connecticut, demonstrating the ability to drive structural profitability — not just short-term gains.
  • Engineered enhanced local rebate structures and renegotiated terms with key vendors, transforming supplier relationships into a strategic margin lever that produced measurable bottom-line impact.
  • Deliberately developed and promoted his own successor in Connecticut, ensuring continuity of the growth trajectory he established before transitioning to spearhead their South Florida ‘greenfield’ expansion which is a testament to his leadership abilities and organizational commitment.
  • Identified a significant market deficiency in South Florida where this national firm held less than 5% share of a $1 billion plus regional plumbing market, and built the business case and operational infrastructure to aggressively capture that opportunity.
  • Constructed a 30,000 sq. ft. warehouse from the ground up and scaled the business unit to $10M in revenue within 24 months, delivering triple-digit year-over-year growth in both revenue and margin dollars, and a 700 basis point improvement in margin percentage from 2025 to 2026.
  • Served as a trusted leader at the corporate level, contributing to acquisition evaluations and playing an active role in manager onboarding and leadership development across the division.
  • Recognized the early potential of last-mile logistics, partnering with Curri in their founding years as one of their first enterprise adopters — and at peak, operating as their single largest account, reducing delivery costs and improving service speed.
  • Built strategic vendor alignment programs with emerging suppliers such as Alberts Integrated Piping Systems, creating differentiated incentive structures that strengthened the firm’s competitive positioning at the third-tier vendor level.
