Mazo Capital LLC has promoted Co-Founder and Executive Vice President John Pfister to chief executive, effective as of yesterday.
Pfister co-founded the Irvine-based provider of equipment financing in 2021.
His appointment comes after a six-month long search for a CEO, President Brad Kissler said.
Mazo cites Pfister’s leadership for the company’s fast growth since its founding. Mazo was the second fastest-growing private company locally in the small category with revenue growth of 2,313% to $4.8 million, according to last year’s Business Journal list.
“As we embark on this new chapter, I have every confidence that John will elevate our company to new heights, leveraging his innovative mindset and inspiring leadership to unlock our full potential,” Co-Founder and COO Andy Kim said in a statement.
