“Re-Bath is in a prime position for growth with decades of experience behind the brand,” said Stipp. “My goal is to expand the brand’s digital footprint and put a strategic roadmap in place for customers, existing franchisees, and future franchisees.” 

 

Kaliyaperumal joins the team with over 28 years of experience in IT, and most recently served as a Group Vice President of Information Technology at Leslie’s Poolmart Inc., the world’s largest retailer of swimming pool supplies. 

 

“I am looking forward to joining a leadership team that’s already well ahead of the curve,” said Kaliyaperumal. “With a diverse background in IT from system analysis to software development, I plan to create a strategy that will exponentially elevate the brand.” 

 

Prior to these roles, he also worked as a Vice President of IT Digital Transformation and Technology Architecture at FLEETCOR, where he developed an IT strategy and roadmap for modernizing legacy applications.  

 

“As Re-Bath continues to grow across the nation, we’re in the process of building our team of best-in-class leaders to elevate our brand and experience for our customers,” said Re-Bath CEO Brad Hillier. “Christopher and Sakthi both have the passion, determination, and proven track record to expand our digital reach and drive technology initiatives.”

 

The success achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized by Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Most recently, Re-Bath earned the No. 1 spot on Bob Vila’s 2022 Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking for “Best Bathroom Renovations.”
