About John Armstrong

John Armstrong is the Founder and CEO of Reibus. The independent SaaS-enabled marketplace that utilizes technology to solve ingrained supply chain problems in the industrial material market. Reibus was built with the goal to transform the performance of all market participants and at the same time to build a company culture full of opportunity so good that all employees say it is the greatest job they have ever had. Born and raised in Scotland, John’s first passion was road cycling, which he had the honor to represent his country at an international level before he started his professional business career.

John’s early career started in the UK with various positions with major corporations such as Sainsburys and Saint Gobain. John was selected for several management training programs during this time, which laid the foundation for his future career development.

John joined Omnimax in 2006 as the Commercial leader for their UK Division and was thrust into the supply chain challenges of the industrial market firsthand. After five successful years in the UK, John was asked to relocate to the US with Omnimax where he continued to build his knowledge of the supply chain and all its challenges holding several roles in Sales, Marketing, Procurement, and Leadership positions.

A constant challenger of the Status quo, John has always been looking for new ways to do things, searching for innovative ways to develop projects, businesses, and people. John credits the many mentors he has had over the years, who took the time to invest in him and help him develop personally, and those who importantly had the patience to forgive his many mistakes.

John’s life and professional experiences combined with his industry expertise and desire to create an amazing working culture led him to founding Reibus in 2018.
