Brian Huss
CFO
QXO (formerly Kodiak Building Systems)
As a growth-oriented Chief Financial Officer, Brian has spent more than 12 years helping scale a private equity-backed organization from $220 million to a peak of $3.2 billion in revenue. His experience spans enterprise financial strategy, M&A, capital markets, FP&A, treasury, investor relations, board reporting, and the development of financial systems and teams that enable sustainable growth.
Throughout his career at Kodiak Building Partners, he has advised on, evaluated, and integrated more than 45 acquisitions, including personally leading two transactions from diligence through close and post-acquisition integration. He has also directed six recapitalizations and financings, executed a Term Loan B recognized by RBC as its fastest-ever turnaround for a transaction of its kind, and built the FP&A and Treasury functions from the ground up.
Most recently, Brian helped lead Kodiak’s successful sale to QXO, generating a return of more than 13 times for Court Square Capital Partners and the management team. This work required rigorous exit preparation, close coordination with ownership and operating leaders, and the ability to navigate complex due diligence and evolving circumstances with focus and sound judgment.
