McColley brings more than 22 years of human resources leadership experience from McCarthy Building Companies, Jiffy Lube, Pizza Hut and AT&T, and he comes to Kirby-Smith at a time of rapid expansion. He will work as part of the senior leadership team to ensure that Kirby-Smith Machinery continues to differentiate itself as an employer of choice within the heavy equipment distributor community. McColley’s focus will be on unleashing the potential of Kirby-Smith’s employees through strategies that facilitate training, leadership development and mentorship, as well as recruiting top talent and retaining top-performing employees.
“Our people are our greatest resource at Kirby-Smith Machinery, and we are fortunate to have such an experienced leader in this critical role,” said Jeff Weller, Chief Operating Officer. “The heavy equipment industry is experiencing a transformation and, as we adapt to and lead during these changing times, Seth’s contributions will be critical to our continued leadership to our employees, partners and customers.”
“I’ve worked for a number of different companies, within a number of different industries, over the course of my career and while people are people no matter what they’re building, selling, distributing, creating or doing, Kirby-Smith just feels like ‘home,’” said McColley. “I could not be more elated about this opportunity to work with this team and these people. We are one Kirby-Smith!”
McColley earned his BA from the University of Texas and his MBA from the University of Phoenix. McColley currently lives in Texas with his wife Nelly and their two children.
