Kodiak Building Partners’ Post

This week, Kailey Jackson from Kodiak’s Continuous Improvement team was honored in Chicago with a Business Excellence Award at the HBSDealer Top Women in Hardware & Building Supply Conference. Kailey’s story reflects what’s possible when deep industry experience meets a mindset for innovation. Starting in the building materials industry at just 14, she’s grown into a leader who helps teams see problems differently and build stronger, smarter systems together. Over the past year, Kailey guided a cross-functional team through a complex Back Office Transformation project—strengthening operations across 10 Kodiak operating companies through collaboration and shared vision. Her recognition goes beyond individual achievement—it represents how progress happens in our industry. Leaders like Kailey are showing that operational excellence and people-first leadership can coexist, shaping the future of how we work and grow together. Congratulations, Kailey, on this well-deserved honor and for inspiring others across Kodiak and beyond to reframe challenges as opportunities for excellence! #TopWomen2025 #WomenInLBM #ContinuousImprovement #KodiakBuildingPartners #Leadership #BusinessExcellence #BuildingMaterials
