SRS Distribution names new CFO, EVP

2/5/2021

SRS Distribution has appointed Ryan Nelson to the role of executive vice president and chief financial officer. 

Nelson will report to Daniel Tinker, SRS president and CEO, and succeeds R. Scott Vansant who will remain with the company as executive vice president. 

“This move reflects the ongoing succession planning that has been underway at SRS to ensure the continuity of financial and strategic leadership through and beyond our shareholders’ investment period,” said Tinker. “I have known Ryan since 2012 when he advised SRS on its first recapitalization, and we were fortunate to have him join us in 2019 as our SVP of M&A and Strategy, where he has taken us to an entirely new level. Ryan brings the passion, strategic mindset, and experience to help us build a world class distribution business.”

Prior to joining SRS, Nelson had a 20-year career in corporate development and investment banking, where he most recently served as a Managing Director of Harris Williams. Mr. Nelson has worked with private and public companies on merger and acquisition and capital raising transactions throughout his career, including extensive experience in the building products distribution industry.

“This decision also paves the path for Scott to assume an important operating role, while facilitating an effective transition of responsibilities to Ryan,” Tinker said. “I can’t thank Scott enough for all he has done and continues to do for the company and our shareholders.”

Based in McKinney, Texas, SRS is one of the nation’s largest building products distributors with more than 415 locations in 43 states.
