F.W. Webb Director of Procurement Kristin McGann was recently profiled by Supply House Times in their "Meet 10 Influential PHCP-PVF Women" feature. The article, released in celebration of Women's History Month, highlights women in the plumbing, heating, cooling, piping, valve and fitting industry.
McGann continues to excel in a male-dominated field. She has specialized in product management in her five years at Webb, including plumbing, showroom and the company's private brands.
"Women shouldn't hesitate to enter this industry because it has so much to offer, including ample opportunities for advancement," said McGann. "I've gained valuable experience with countless products in my numerous roles at Webb."
Recently promoted to her current position, McGann focuses on vendor relationships and selection. She plays a critical part in ensuring the company makes sound strategic decisions.
"Kristin has worked diligently since joining the company," said Senior Vice President of Purchasing Jeff Thompson. "I have no doubt she’ll continue to achieve new heights as Director of Procurement."
McGann has immersed herself in her new duties and responsibilities, as she has throughout her nine years in the industry.
"I've flourished in the PHCP-PVF field," said McGann. "I hope more women give it a chance."
