BELOIT, Wis.— August 29, 2023—ABC Supply Co., Inc., the largest wholesale distributor of roofing and other select exterior and interior building products in North America, has named eight new vice presidents to its executive team. The increased size and scope of leadership at ABC Supply reflects the recent and ongoing expansion of the company itself.

The promotions, effective July 1, 2023, are:

• Julie Bies to vice president of internal audit.

After working in that role for 15 years, she was promoted to internal audit director. She specializes in developing new methods and approaches to improve internal controls and efficiency.

Boggs has been with ABC Supply for 34 years. During his tenure, he has undertaken various roles in the field and at the company’s National Support Center, most recently serving as director of operations for the past 12 years. In his role, Boggs leads key strategic enhancements to support and scale associate growth and oversees strategic operational upgrades, including safety, compliance and fleet.

Callaway joined ABC Supply in 2016 when the company acquired L&W Supply and was promoted to executive director of enterprise merchandising last year. As part of his role, he will have responsibility for Mule-Hide Products and Norandex — strategic business units of ABC Supply — while continuing to manage vendor relations, pricing, inbound transportation and master data.

Cloyd has been with ABC Supply for nearly 21 years. Throughout her tenure, she has worked in various finance roles, transitioning to lead the Customer Financial Services department last year. Her role entails leading an enterprise-wide team to evolve systems and processes and ensure that ABC Supply customers have convenient access to lines of credit.

Kaechele, a five-year ABC Supply associate, was promoted to executive director of IT strategy and planning in 2022. As a vice president, he will continue to spearhead technology-focused projects and services that align with the company’s strategic objectives and growth trajectory.

Sullivan has been with ABC Supply for six years, becoming the executive director of enterprise analytics in 2022. In his role, he will continue to lead a dedicated team focused on analyzing and leveraging data to identify opportunities for innovation.

Thompson joined ABC Supply in 2007 and has been the company’s director of marketing and national business development for over six years. He has been instrumental in many key areas of the company and the growth of the company’s national accounts business.

Towne, a 30-year insurance and risk management professional, joined ABC Supply in 2021. His work ensures the protection of the company’s associates and assets through various programs and policies.

In 2012, ABC Supply had 450 branches across the country. Today, the company is double that size, reaching and surpassing 900 locations last year. With key acquisition and expansion strategies in place, the new leadership structure will be key to meeting growth objectives.

“On behalf of the entire ABC Supply family, I congratulate these new executives on their well-deserved promotions,” said Keith Rozolis, ABC Supply’s president and CEO. “Our path to growth has been paved largely by their strong leadership, so it’s only fitting we expand their roles as we look to the future.”
