Sweda Co. (asi/90305)

2020 Rank: 39 

Jim Hagan and Kellie Claudio

Jim

Title: CEO

Industry Experience: 21 years

Kellie

Title: SVP Sales/Marketing

Industry Experience: 24 years

Hagan and Claudio have been with the California-based supplier for 14 and 11 years respectively, generating long-term stability within the 17th largest supplier in the industry. They move up seven spots on this year’s list, as they continue to focus on the firm’s drop-ship program and custom projects, as well as increasing staff. Their continued support of the Wounded Warrior Project through sales of the company’s Basecamp products – including a $100,000 donation pledge this year – remains a shining industry example of doing good through business.
