Kodiak elevates two presidents
Kodiak Building Partners, a leading building materials distribution company, announced the promotions of Jerry Slomba and Susan Fuller to Presidents at Keys Lumber and Valley Lumber & Rental, respectively. As the company strengthens its network of operating partners in the lumber industry, these additions to the leadership team will support continued growth.
Slomba brings more than 35 years of experience in the building materials industry to his new role at Keys Lumber. Most recently, he led millwork operations on the west coast of Florida for American Builders Supply (ABS), another operating company within Kodiak’s portfolio.
“Jerry is deeply committed to servant leadership, and I’m confident he will bring the same people-first approach to Keys Lumber,” said Mark Garboski, Executive Vice President, LBM Southeast at Kodiak. “His results at ABS speak for themselves, and we are excited to see him bring the same energy and excellence to Keys Lumber.”
Along with Slomba’s appointment to Fla-based Keys Lumber, Susan Fuller will assume a new role as President of Idaho-based Valley Lumber & Rental. Fuller has spent nearly a decade at Valley Lumber, gaining extensive experience across all aspects of the business.
“Susan’s appointment is a testament to her hard work, long-standing dedication, and natural leadership abilities,” said Kelly Fox, Senior Vice President, LBM Northwest at Kodiak. “She knows Valley Lumber inside and out, and her vision for the company’s future reflects both respect for its legacy and a focus on smart, strategic growth.”
Kodiak says the appointments of Slomba and Fuller highlight the company's ongoing commitment to empowering strong leaders within its network of local companies.
