On December 11, 2023, after a comprehensive year-long search, Brad Jacobs announced his intention to create his eighth company. QXO, Inc. will be a market leader in building products distribution—an industry with approximately $800 billion in annual revenue between North America and Europe, according to industry estimates.  

QXO’s strategy is to create a tech-forward leader in the building products distribution industry through accretive M&A and organic growth, with the goal of generating outsized stockholder value.  

Jacobs will become chairman and chief executive officer of QXO upon closing a previously announced $1 billion cash investment into SilverSun Technologies, Inc. After spinning off the existing SilverSun business, the remaining company, QXO, will be a standalone platform for significant acquisitions.
