Affiliated Distributors on Tuesday named Shannon Bibbee as the new president of AD National Accounts.
AD officials said that Bibbee would work with the buying group’s leaders, members and supplier partners to bolster the ability of AD distributors “to compete more effectively across the network.” The appointment would also help AD accelerate the development of its “national account capabilities.”
AD Chairman and CEO Bill Weisberg noted that the appointment coincided with talks to acquire fellow buying group SupplyForce. AD said Tuesday that the proposed deal is on track to be completed in the current quarter.
“We're excited to welcome Shannon to AD as we continue investing in capabilities that help our members compete and grow," Weisberg said in a statement. “His experience and transformational leadership will be instrumental in the development of our National Accounts program.”
“I look forward to working closely with the SupplyForce team, their shareholders, and the broader AD membership as we build on our national account capabilities and create even greater value for AD members,” added Bibbee.
