QXO Names Experienced Executive as President and COO Amid Expansion
QXO has appointed Ken West as its new President and Chief Operating Officer. He will oversee day-to-day operations, including efforts to integrate QXO's technology investments with pricing, procurement, sales, and customer operations.
West joins QXO from Honeywell, where he was the president and CEO of Honeywell Process Technology. During his six years at Honeywell, he rose to lead three major business segments and helped oversee changes to Honeywell's process technology operations.
In his new role, West will draw on his experience in integrating large acquisitions, a skill set that will be crucial as QXO combines its acquired businesses with the company's technology systems. The distributor has identified pricing, procurement, and sales as areas where it expects integration and technology to improve operating performance and customer experience.
QXO has been expanding its operations through a series of acquisitions, including Beacon Roofing Supply in 2025. West will help guide the company towards its goal of reaching $50 billion in annual revenue within the decade.
