Industry pro helps others build culture of success
In the pursuit of success, it’s easy to become self-focused. But for industry veteran Thad Whittenburg, president of Kitchen and Bath Global Partners, mentoring employees and helping other businesses achieve success has been a driving force throughout his 30+ year career.
In his three decades at Reico, he has prioritized building a successful culture, mentoring employees and teaching them the value of caring about their customers’ success.
Last year, he started a new company, Kitchen and Bath Global Partners, with the goal of bettering other businesses. In his new position, Whittenburg is focused on providing members with education and consulting services to help them find solutions for adapting to a rapidly changing industry. He has also developed a new software system that is designed specifically for kitchen and bath dealers to run their businesses more efficiently and track major components of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) such as Margin Erosion and Gross Margin Per Person (GMPP).
Currently, he is working with other dealers to build cultures of customer success, help them to find quality employees, assist them in understanding the business side of their work and help them attain the margins they need. Additionally, he works with them in partnering with larger suppliers.
In helping dealers evolve along with our market, he is working to help them stay relevant in the future – exactly what one would expect from a true innovator.
