About Karla Lewis
Karla Lewis, President and CEO of Reliance Inc., has discussed the company’s growth and strategy in several recent appearances. In an October 2024 interview on the New York Stock Exchange, she reflected on Reliance’s 30th anniversary of its IPO, noting that the company went public in 1994 to fund national expansion and has since grown from 18 locations to about 300. She described the company’s acquisition model, stating that most growth has come from buying well-established companies, and highlighted a decentralized structure that allows local brands to operate autonomously. Lewis also addressed industry challenges, including attracting a modern workforce, and said Reliance offers culture, opportunity, and mobility to employees Mend. She mentioned that reshoring and increased manufacturing in North America are creating opportunities for the metals sector. In other appearances, Lewis has spoken about leadership, integrity, and personal development. In a November 2024 podcast, she emphasized the importance of outside accountability and being coachable, and read from a company creed that includes creating environments where people can thrive and providing opportunity for growth. In a 2024 internal training, she discussed the concept of surrender, defining it as letting go of things one cannot control, and encouraged staying in one’s own lane and serving others first. In a separate interview, she defined integrity as doing what one said they would do long after the initial feeling has passed, and described her personal vision as leaving a legacy of helping people maximize their purpose.
