PDI Makes Organizational Changes to Keep Pace with Continued Growth

Plumbing Distributors Inc. (PDI) has undergone strategic organizational changes to align with its continued growth and expansion in the Southeast. Among these changes are several new positions and promotions at the leadership level.

“We are on a mission to continue to be the best kitchen, bath, and lighting retailer and wholesale distributor in the Southeast,” President and CEO Coley Herrin said.

Fielding Alderman was recently promoted from executive vice president and general manager to chief operating officer. Passionate about supply chain management and a graduate of PDI’s Corporate Management Training program, Alderman has remained a steadfast leader within the organization, working to optimize nearly every department within the company during his twelve-year tenure.

Alderman is also president of the Southern Wholesalers Association.

Shawn Meredith recently joined PDI as chief financial officer. She oversees the company’s treasury, accounting, credit, tax compliance and risk management functions. Meredith has more than a decade of prior experience in the distribution industry, where she actively led the business growth vision for various middle-market companies.

PDI has also brought on Brandon McNeal as its vice president of sales, a new role the company has established to support its multichannel strategy among consumer and professional divisions. McNeal has had a successful career in the kitchen bath industry for 18 years; his background includes B2B sales and leadership roles focused on retail, wholesale and e-commerce channels.

Additional leadership announcements from earlier in the year include internal promotions of Emilee Stone to vice president of marketing, Imtiaz Shaikh to vice president of information technology, and Anita Sweetnam to vice president of human resources.
