Leading Change: Transforming Independent Distributors into a Unified Force
Available on-demand
We were delighted to welcome Renata Morgan to the Wholesale Change show. Renata was recently promoted to President of Rheem Northeast Distribution, which is a combination of four previously independent distributors: United Supply Company, P&N Distribution, Mechanical Supply and MCN Distributors.
The new division will incorporate 32 branches selling both Rheem and Ruud products across Eastern Pennsylvania, all of New Jersey, and parts of New York and Connecticut. Renata will be tasked with defining core values and setting a vision for the combined enterprise to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. As in any merging of companies, establishing a new culture that takes in the best aspects of each individual organization will be a key challenge.
An HVAC industry veteran with experience driving organizational change and leading diverse cross-functional teams, Renata’s leadership has been recognized by being named a Top 20 Woman in HVAC in 2021 along with a HARDI 40 Under 40 honor in 2016. Renata received a Master of Industrial Distribution degree from Texas A&M University, where she currently serves as a member of the MID Advisory Board, along with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston.
