- Executing supply chain shift from China to mitigate tariff risk.
- Integrating acquisitions to accelerate diversification from RVs.
- Executing cost reductions to protect margins from tariffs.

Question #1
Does Lippert’s proven playbook of aggressive M&A to drive diversification mask a tendency to overlook the operational discipline required to maintain product quality and protect margins?
Question #2
Given the diversification strategy has failed to prevent sharp profit drops in a downturn, is Lippert a visionary dealmaker who struggles to translate acquisitions into true bottom-line resilience, or does he possess the operational discipline to manage through a cycle without relying on the next big deal?
