Whitestone (PPAI 666851, Silver) has pursued an aggressive M&A strategy, acquiring three companies since July 2024. These acquisitions have been instrumental in Whitestone – the latest firm to join Reciprocity Road – expanding its global footprint.
The fully remote distributor has also made significant strides in corporate social responsibility, fully offsetting its total carbon emissions for 2024 and joining 1% for the Planet, committing over $200,000 in charitable contributions to environmental partners in its first year. The firm also launched a Circular Impact program, designed to repurpose, recycle and donate obsolete merch.
The future looks bright with 2024 PPAI Rising Star Dominique Volker, Whitestone’s longest-tenured employee, being promoted to company president while founder Joseph Sommer has transitioned to CEO. Plus, industry veteran Karie Cowden, MAS, has joined as director of enterprise sales.
