Bob Jordan joins the MDM Analytics team to develop stronger market analytics tools for manufacturers and distributors across the major industrial and construction product categories, including electrical, power transmission, fluid power/control, general MRO industrial, safety, jan-san, HVACR and other segments.
Most recently, Jordan was VP Business Development for the U.S. Electrical division at Affiliated Distributors, where he expanded membership and reach with many new, exemplary members. He brings more than 35 years of experience in both manufacturing and distribution channels to the role. Previous manufacturing accomplishments include diverse roles in marketing, sales and operations at Sylvania (now LEDVANCE).
"MDM has an exceptional reputation providing market intelligence and analytics to the industry and I'm proud to be a part of the team," said Jordan. "I look forward to applying my background to help both distributors and manufacturers leverage the tools available from MDM Analytics for market planning and strategically growing sales and margins."
