QXO Inc. announced the appointment of global tech veteran Val Liborski as chief technology officer, effective April 21, 2025. 

Liborski most recently served as chief technology officer for Yahoo, and before that, served two and a half years as chief technology officer for HelloFresh. As CTO, he helped HelloFresh scale quickly while maintaining a customer-centric approach. Previously, he led engineering and product management at Amazon Web Services and later oversaw the technology powering the expansion of Amazon’s consumer business across Europe, which included a five-year stint as vice president of technology for the EU region.

Earlier in his career, he spent 12 years at Microsoft, where he held senior engineering roles and developed large-scale data systems for Bing and advanced AI-driven advertising platforms.

“Val has built his career at high-performance companies where execution is crucial to market leadership,” said Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of QXO. “His experience leading world-class teams at some of the most innovative companies in the world gives QXO a major competitive advantage.”

QXO recently signed a definitive agreement to acquire Beacon Roofing Supply Inc. for approximately $11 billion, making QXO among the largest distributors of roofing products in the United States upon closing, expected the week of April 28, 2025.

The hire is another example of the technology-forward approach QXO CEO Brad Jacobs applies to his companies. Last November, QXO appointed Ashwin Rao as chief artificial intelligence officer.
