RS announced Monday that it has named Jonathan Bennett as the new president of its RS Americas business.
Bennett succeeds Doug Moody, who has retired, effective immediately.
Bennett most recently led the northern division of Beacon Building Products — since acquired by QXO — after spells as chief commercial officer and in other leadership positions at Beacon. He also held executive positions at the Home Depot, Total Wine & More and Boston Consulting Group.
“Jonathan is an accomplished executive with deep product and channel expertise gained from leading retailers and distributors,” RS Group CEO Simon Pryce said in a statement. “He has a strong track record of driving strategic growth, improving performance, and rallying teams around continuous improvement.”
RS’ Americas operations ranked at no. 21 on ID’s annual Big 50 list.
