Why Mid-Market Distributors Stay Stuck (and How to Break Free) Why do some distribution companies scale effortlessly while others stay stuck? The difference is not luck. It is how they approach complexity. Challenged companies think: “We need a bigger warehouse.” “Let’s buy more inventory just in case.” “We need a new ERP to fix everything.” Scaling companies think: “How do we simplify our workflows?” “Are we measuring the right KPIs—or just tracking noise?” “Do we actually need more headcount, or just better processes?” Nivalmi helped a $500M distributor unlock $7M in cash flow just by fixing one supply chain challenge. Before you spend more money for growth, optimize what you already have. What’s one operational headache you wish would disappear tomorrow?

For 30 years, Nancy Disbrow SHRM-SCP thought she just had to work harder than everyone else. School was a battle. The corporate world? Equally exhausting—compensating for spelling, numbers, and details that never quite clicked. Then she came a realization that changed everything: her “different brain” wasn’t broken—it was a gift. And she’s spent her career making sure others know that too. As a former HR Executive, proud dyslexic and ADHDer, and fierce advocate for celebrating all thinking styles through her company Neuro-o-sity, she helps companies unlock the brilliance within their current teams. She’s already been leading Nivalmi’s HR Leadership Council, guiding HR executives as they tackle today’s most pressing workforce challenges. Now, as a new Managing Director, she’s expanding her impact—helping our clients develop HR strategies that drive real results in leadership, culture, and talent development. She’s also working closely with Nivalmi’s leadership team to refine our own business and process development as we continue to grow. Please join us in officially welcoming Nancy to Nivalmi! #HRLeadership #HRStrategy #NeurodiversityAtWork #BusinessGrowth #WelcomeToNivalmi
