ENGLEWOOD, Colo., October 14, 2025— Kodiak Building Partners, a leading building materials distribution company, today announced the promotion of Beau Hayes to senior vice president of channel strategy.

The new role builds on Kodiak’s growth and evolving partnerships across the country, creating new opportunities to connect its businesses, suppliers and vendors in more strategic ways. With Hayes’ leadership, Kodiak will continue refining how its companies work together and with their partners to deliver stronger results across its diverse markets.

“Beau has consistently demonstrated the ability to see the bigger picture—understanding how relationships, markets and operational decisions intersect to create long-term success,” said Cliff Shimer, executive vice president of business transformation at Kodiak Building Partners. “His strategic mindset and collaborative approach make him an ideal fit for this new role, which will be critical as Kodiak continues to strengthen its network of partnerships and expand its market presence.”
