Chief Executive Officer
Richard joined PRG as CEO in February 2024. With a track record of accelerating growth, fostering innovation and building collaborative work cultures, he is exceptionally prepared to guide PRG into a dynamic future.
Richard comes to PRG after successfully leading and operating the Tool and Equipment Rental division of The Home Depot, serving both professional and DIY customers across the United States and Canada.
