Gulfeagle Supply announced an organizational restructuring that includes new leadership promotions, retirements and realignments to incorporate its recent acquisition of Elite Roofing Supply.

In a news release, the distributor said the organizational structure is designed to "further align with our vendors, customers, and partners as we continue to grow and integrate."

"These changes mark the next chapter in our commitment to operational excellence and superior customer service, providing a strong foundation for future success," the company said.

Key highlights of the new structure include:

  • Leadership Promotions: Kurt Schwahn has been promoted to the newly created role of chief revenue and operations officer (CROO). Gulfeagle says Schwahn’s experience and leadership will be "instrumental in driving operational efficiency and revenue growth across Gulfeagle."
  • Retirement Announcement: After years of dedicated service, Bill Wilson, vice president, will be retiring at the end of this year. Until then, Wilson will continue to provide his expertise in purchasing and vendor relations, working with Kelly Joyce, director of purchasing, and Greg Russell, director of vendor relations.
  • Geographic Realignment and Elite Roofing Supply Branch Integration: As part of the company's growth and integration strategy, geographic oversight has been adjusted to streamline operations, with "Legacy Elite" branches that overlap with Gulfeagle Supply now unified under a single leadership structure.
  • Safety and Fleet Management: Nizam Husaini will now take on the role of safety/fleet manager for California, supporting safety initiatives across the state.
  • Regional Leadership Appointments: The following new appointments were made as part of the organizational actions:
    • Steve Whipple has been named regional vice president, West
    • Doug Norman has been named regional vice president, Southwest
    • Mike Lesisko has been named regional vice president, West Central
    • Brad Powers has been named regional vice president, Southeast
    • Scott Littlefield, director of residential sales, and Dan Doherty, director of commercial sales, will now extend their leadership roles to cover legacy Elite branches as well as operations in Texas and Oklahoma.

"By enhancing our leadership team and streamlining operations, we are better positioned to respond to our customer and vendor needs," the company said in a news release.
