OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — Kirby-Smith Machinery (KSM) hires Cody Ward to serve as its new Director of Strategy and Corporate Development. Ward will be tasked with the research and implementation of long-term growth strategies for the heavy equipment distributor.

“We had the good fortune to discover Cody through one of our manufacturing partners and are excited to add his talents to our company as our new Director of Strategy and Corporate Development,” said Jeff Weller, Chief Operating Officer for KSM. “With our sights set on further strategic growth, having someone with Cody’s skill set and direction will be invaluable. Cody has also proven to be a great fit for our culture."

Prior to joining KSM, Ward served as Director of Strategy and Business Development for Tulsa Winch Group, where he was responsible for leading their long-range strategic planning process and managed their Greer branded load moment indication business. He also brings extensive finance experience inside organizations of all sizes, including rapidly growing startups, private-equity-owned portfolio companies, and Fortune 50 retail organizations.
