The talent behind the suppliers big-box depends on.
NovusMarc brings experience, staffing, and systems to the suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers selling into US big-box, pro-channel, and distribution markets, led by an operator who ran a ~$1B commercial distribution P&L in US big-box retail.
Two ways in. One credential behind both.
Both rest on the same record: US big-box retail, operated at ~$1B scale. The talent practice staffs the suppliers. The advisory practice maps the channel they compete in.
Supplier Talent
We staff the suppliers big-box retail depends on. National account leaders, channel sales talent, sales leadership, and operators who have sat on the retail side of the table. Delivered through Loom Haven Advisors, our owned executive search firm. For suppliers selling into big-box retail and pro-channel distribution, from Lowe's and Builders FirstSource to Ferguson and ABC Supply; building-products manufacturers; and international brands with US operations.
The supplier-talent practice →Retail Channel Advisory
How big-box retailers evaluate, onboard, and retain suppliers: line reviews, resets, scorecard expectations, pro versus retail channel differences, and the operational readiness a vendor needs to win and stay in. For companies pitching or defending positions at major retailers, PE firms diligencing building-products platforms, and international entrants.
The advisory practice →One client can move through all three in sequence: advisory finds the position, staffing builds the team, and systems build the machine the team runs.
Experience, staffing, and systems.
Three things, delivered in whatever order the engagement needs. Each carries its own proof.
Experience
Retail channel and go-to-market advisory, and fractional commercial leadership. Principal-led with a bench of senior operators: a curated network of 1099 sales leaders, CROs, and building-materials executives who have run the roles they advise on.
Staffing
Every search runs through Loom Haven Advisors, our owned executive search firm, extended by vetted staffing partners for volume and specialty go-to-market hiring. Retained and contingent both stay on the menu.
Systems
Revenue and talent systems, AI and non-AI: outbound and lead-generation engines, enrichment pipelines, CRM and email infrastructure, and AI workflow builds. We run our own modern GTM stack daily, so the advice comes from operating it, not from theory.
An institution with a principal.

The Managing Director leads a firm, not a desk. Around him sit Loom Haven Advisors, our owned executive search firm; a curated bench of senior 1099 operators; and established AI engineering partners. The record opens the door. The institution does the work, and it stays after the engagement ends.
