ZGrowth Partners is thrilled to announce that Rick Del Sontro has joined the company as CEO and an operating partner. Rick served as President & CEO of Zippy Shell for the past 8 years, taking the company from a concept in the U.S. to the fastest growing moving and storage franchise business in the country.
Rick led the company through a private equity investment of $25 Million in 2015 with Virgo Investment Group LLC.
Rick brings to ZGrowth an important element of building a brand from the initial stages, to its growth stage, and ultimately to a liquidity event. “We feel like the addition of Rick is an important step in building our team and further positions ZGrowth as a world class provider of franchise talent and services,” stated Javier Parraga, Chairman of ZGrowth. “Our franchise expertise along with our commitment to investment capital allows us to effectively take strong franchise concepts and rapidly expand them nationwide.”
According to Rick, “ZGrowth’s services are needed within the franchising industry. There are so many strong franchise concepts that will never fully achieve their potential because they lack the capital, the franchise knowledge and the infrastructure necessary to build their business. We continue to seek out partnerships with great brands to build world class franchise systems.”
