Kodiak announces leadership appointments across four companies

Kodiak Building Partners has announced several appointments at the operating leadership level across four of its companies: AO Door (Texas), Direct Lumber and Door (Colorado), American Builders Supply (Florida), and Arizona Wholesale Supply (Arizona).

Linda Hawkins was named as president at AO Door in October 2019. She leads a commercial door operation in the Dallas market. She has been with AO since 2009. As her career has developed with the company, she has grown market share and profitability. Her previous title was VP of operations.

Michael Severa became the president of Direct Lumber and Door (DLD) on April 1. His new leadership role will utilize his understanding of DLD, as he has been a significant contributor to the company since its conception. The previous president of this operation, Tom Kostelecky, has transitioned to senior vice president-business development for Kodiak Building Partners.
