Wholesale Change:
Building a Bridge Between Generations, featuring Jeff McLendon
Available now on-demand
About this event
In nearly 20 years with Specialty Building Products, Jeff has served as CFO, President and COO, and now CEO. Throughout his long career, which has included many acquisitions, a company name change (SBP was formerly known as U.S. LUMBER) and most recently, new ownership, Jeff has focused on building great teams.
Jeff knows this means recruiting great new talent to go along with the experienced veterans. SBP has earned a reputation as a great place to work for Millennials and Generation Z employees – and not just because Jeff plays video games with them. He joined us on the Wholesale Change show where Ian and Jonathan asked him about the part he played in building such a successful company.
