About Ryan Potter

With over 25 years of experience in sales and operations management, I am a proven leader who can drive growth and efficiency in the MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) supplies industry. I am currently Regional Director of Operations at Chadwell Supply, a leading distributor of plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and hardware products, specializing in the Multifamily Housing sector.My core competencies include new business development, key account management, income statement analysis, customer retention, employee engagement, and process improvement. I have a passion for delivering exceptional service and value to my clients and stakeholders, and a vision for challenging the status quo and innovating solutions. I have a track record of growing sales by $30M in one year, hiring and retaining top talent, implementing Salesforce processes, and negotiating with 3PL vendors. I am a servant leader who puts the needs of others before my own, and a team player who cultivates collaborative partnerships across all levels and departments of an organization. I communicate with integrity, empathy, and emotional intelligence, and adapt to ever-changing business needs. I am always eager to learn new skills and expand my knowledge, as evidenced by my recent completion of a Financial Accounting course on LinkedIn. I am looking for opportunities to leverage my expertise and skills to make a positive impact in the MRO industry and beyond. Let\'s connect.
