Steven W. Email & Phone Number

Steven W. is a President and Chief Executive Officer at KBK Industries. Colleagues describe him as "Steven represents KBK and it’s technologies with the utmost care and attention to detail. His aim is to provide a level of competence and application knowledge rarely found in a supplier organization. He can be trusted to do the right thing." and "Steven and I were members of the lead team at KBK. Steven is a dedicated, strategic and innovative leader. Steven is highly respected by everyone including owners, managers and line employees. Steven inherited a sales force that functioned as order takers. Steven quickly converted this sales force into one that was proactive and goal driven. In his first year in this role, he significantly increased sales and EBITDA in a stagnant and competitive market by stealing market share while increasing margin on the orders booked. Steven brought the same focus to reorganizing operations. Steven assembled and managed an operations team that efficiently met customer expectations at a lower cost, increased profitability and higher quality. When declining crude oil prices significantly reduced the size and profitability of KBK’s primary market, Steven implemented a plan to replace these sales by expanding into new markets, increasing the scope of services in existing markets and increasing market share in all markets. In addition, Steven quickly right-sized operations to allow the company to be profitable while maintaining a high level of customer service and quality. I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a senior business leader who has demonstrated success in managing all aspects of sales and operations. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Steven in the future."
