As President and Chief Executive Officer of RelaDyne, Larry Stoddard is responsible for driving and executing RelaDyne’s transformational business strategy from independently run distribution business to an integrated branch network of lubricant, fuel, and reliability services supply through the U.S. Beyond his extensive experience running distribution businesses, Larry brings to RelaDyne a strategic focus on the development and growth of value-added services. Accordingly, he is passionate about driving the evolution and delivery of RelaDyne’s Reliability Services line of business. A high-energy, results-driven business leader, Larry has a proven track record of nearly three decades of management success along with a respected reputation for significantly improving operational productivity and customer service.

During that time, Larry managed strategy, teams, training, operations and acquisition integration and was responsible for P&L for much of the company’s branch network. He was also involved in the development of their distribution center network and helped lead a logistics program for industrial warehousing and shipping that rivaled the speed and flexibility of leading consumer retailers. Prior to his departure, Larry was serving as COO of Wolseley, a $34 billion distributor with operations in North America, Europe, and the Far East.
