SUMMARY:Wholesale Change: FleetPride CEO Kevin Weadick - Charting a Journey of Success
DESCRIPTION:During his two-decade tenure with Grainger companies\, Kevin Weadick demonstrated his versatility by contributing his expertise across multiple countries and diverse divisions such as Supply Chain\, Marketing and Product Management. However\, he attained the pinnacle of his Grainger career when he assumed the role of President for the company’s B2B Marketplace Enterprise\, Zoro. \nGiven his remarkable track record\, it’s no surprise that when FleetPride embarked on its quest for a new CEO\, Kevin emerged as an exceptional candidate. Few can boast of extensive experience within a prominent branch-based distribution enterprise\, coupled with a history of significant accomplishments in the dynamic realm of digital commerce\, exemplified by his achievements at Zoro\, a 100% online company. \nAt Zoro\, it wasn’t just about sales growth; the company’s outstanding culture earned it numerous accolades as an exemplary employer. As CEO of FleetPride\, Kevin is committed to replicating this culture success while strategically integrating digital solutions alongside FleetPride’s existing Branch and Sales strategy\, while expanding the company’s emerging Service channel. All of this is in service to the company’s core purpose: “FleetPride keeps the country running.” \nJoin us on the Wholesale Change show on December 13 when we talk to Kevin about what he’s learned over his long distribution career\, how he’s adapting to a new industry and how he plans to leverage his experience to achieve big goals at FleetPride.
