Kodiak announces leadership moves

“I appreciate the flexibility provided to me by Steve and Kodiak, and I look forward to engaging fully again after a period of time,” said Garboski.  

Kodiak Building Partners said that it is committed to the health and welfare of its employees and recognizes the importance of supporting Garboski during this time.

“Mark has and will continue to play a pivotal role in the growth and success of Kodiak Building Partners, and we fully support his decision to focus on his health at this time," said Swinney. 

Moving forward, Mike Flood and Pat Flood, executive vice presidents of operations, will report directly to  Swinney. Mike Flood and Jeff Smith, Kodiak’s CFO, will assume additional leadership responsibilities. 

Garboski was promoted to COO in 2020.
