On Friday, Industrial Supply Company’s CEO Chris Bateman, announced that the Board of Directors named Jessica Yurgaitis as President of the 106-year-old business. Currently the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Management, Yurgaitis is the company’s first woman to take on this leadership role.

As a member of the Executive Team and the Board of Directors, she had made certain that throughout this time of change, the company remained relevant and never lost its commitment to personalized customer service and strong vendor relationships.
