Roofing, exterior and interior parts distributor ABC Supply promoted Mike Jost to President and Chief Operating Officer, effective Jan. 1, 2025.

In his expanded role as President, Jost will continue as COO of ABC Supply, leading the performance of company locations across North America. He will also manage ABC Supply’s branch and manufacturing operations, as well as its divisional companies, including L&W Supply. Additionally, Jost will continue to oversee the company’s marketing, merchandising, real estate, education, fleet, safety and national business development teams.

Jost joined ABC Supply in 2002 as a branch manager following the company’s acquisition of Washington Roofing as part of its purchase of Cameron Ashley Building Products. Throughout his tenure at ABC Supply, he has held various roles, including sales and marketing manager for the Northeast Region in 2005, business manager for siding and windows, district manager of the Mid-Atlantic Region in 2012 and, most recently, COO.

“In every role he’s held, Mike has been a driving force behind our growth and success,” CEO Keith Rozolis said. “His deep understanding of ABC Supply, combined with his passion for our associates and customers, makes him the ideal leader for this position. We’re excited to see him build on that momentum, bringing his energy and expertise to lead us forward.”

With a 2023 revenue of $20.4 billion, ABC Supply topped MDM’s Top Distributors List for Building Material/Construction. Rozolis shared how he scaled ABC Supply through decentralization at MDM’s 2024 SHIFT Conference, and the story is available to MDM Premium members.
