Scott Barbour
CEO Barbour has successfully expanded ADS beyond its core pipe business, leveraging innovation and M&A to nearly triple revenue since joining in 2017.
According to sources, his skillset forged at Emerson makes him a disciplined operator, though his aggressive, "old school" leadership style can inhibit dissent.
Barbour's operational strengths and customer orientation are seen as a strong match for ADS's next growth phase, outweighing risks from his political blind spots.
