ADI Global Distribution

CEO Rob Aarnes has led ADI since its Honeywell days and through the Snap One integration; the board includes experienced operators such as Michael Kaufmann (ex‑Cardinal Health CEO) as chair. Preferred holders (CD&R) can designate two directors, aligning a sophisticated sponsor but also creating a layer of influence.

Management communicates clear medium‑term targets and operates a long‑standing field‑training franchise (ADI Expo) that supports share gains with integrators. We see execution capability as above average for distribution peers.
