Travis will assume leadership of the company and spearhead DWC\u2019s strategic and operational direction moving forward. Travis replaces company founder, Bryce Huett, in this role as Bryce has recently stepped away from day-to-day business to spend more time with his family in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt DWC, one of our company values is Build 2 Rebuild\u201d, explains Laura Kitto, DWC Director of People Development. \u201cWe are always looking to enhance our family and improve our ability to serve electrical distributors. Travis brings a wealth of electrical industry experience from the manufacturing, distribution and master distribution perspectives. In addition to this, his 20-year leadership background as a commanding officer in the U.S. Navy is a great addition to our team. This combined industry and military experience adds to DWC\u2019s ability to deliver outstanding value to our distributor partners!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Travis is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy where he played football for the Midshipmen and earned a degree in economics. He also holds a master\u2019s degree in global leadership, a degree he chose for its emphasis on leadership, teamwork and ethics. After the Naval Academy, Williams was signed as a free agent by the Green Bay Packers. He paused his NFL dream to spend two years as an active duty Surface Warfare Officer in the Navy before returning to the Packers in 2003. Travis\u2019 professional career has been distinguished by increased positional and intellectual responsibilities throughout. Prior to joining DWC, Williams spent 15 years within the electrical industry in various leadership roles. This experience includes executive stints at Grainger, OmniCable, Gexpro, and Kris-Tech Wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe opportunity that lies ahead for DWC is exciting, and the ability to help define this next chapter is deeply humbling and incredibly exhilarating,\u201d said Williams. \u201cI am focused on accelerating our continued innovation and enhancing our ability to execute on behalf of our customers. Their success will continue to drive us!&nbsp; I couldn\u2019t be more confident in our ability to win, or more honored to lead this great company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2008, Distributor Wire &amp; Cable is a Master Distributor of specialty wire &amp; cable.
