I’m looking to connect with a senior operator/executive with significant experience in the lumber & building materials (LBM) industry, ideally in the Northeast. I am currently pursuing the acquisition of an established building materials distribution business in the Northeast alongside my investment partners. My background is operating and growing a $45M B2B distribution business, where I spent 11 years focused on purchasing, sales, logistics, warehousing, sourcing, working capital, process improvement and building teams. We would like to complement my distribution operating experience with someone who has deep, hands-on LBM industry experience — ideally a former CEO, President, COO, senior operating executive or owner of a building materials business. We are open-minded regarding the right structure. This could initially be an operating advisor or board role, could involve supporting us through diligence and the first 12–24 months post-close, or potentially become a more substantial operating role for the right person. Northeast LBM experience would be particularly valuable, as would deep knowledge of purchasing/vendor relationships, sales, credit, yard/delivery operations, inventory and the industry talent landscape. If you have this background — or know someone exceptional whom I should speak with — I would greatly appreciate an introduction. Please feel free to DM me.
