The transition from the supplier side of the business to the distributor side is one that he sought out because he saw an opportunity to have a major impact on the entire industry.
“As a supplier I worked with thousands of distributors, and Boundless Network always stood out as a progressive company with outstanding leadership and an exciting vision for our industry,” said White. “I’m excited to be part of the Boundless Network family and look forward to helping Boundless continue its amazing growth.”
