Kerry Hackney Email & Phone Number

I've worked in the industrial distribution industry for over 40 years. I began my career at a local electrical supply business which was then acquired by CED. I moved within CED over the next 12 years and ended up in Florida. I finally moved "home" to East Tennessee where I met the owner of The Tool Crib. That began a 25+ year journey in the cutting tool world. In the fall of 2023, The Tool Crib was acquired by Stellar Industrial Supply.I've done all parts of distribution beginning in the warehouse, then purchasing, inside sales, outside sales, acquisitions, information systems and senior management. I've learned over the years that relationships are the key. Treat people with respect and be interested and curious about their needs and challenges.I love all things mechanical and have a passion for motorcycles and have been working on and riding street bikes for about 40 years. I'm also a fan of MotoGP and enjoy a good Irish whiskey.

Listed skills include Product Development, Budgets, Process Improvement, Product Management, and 6 others.
