Ann Fandozzi is a world class visionary, problem solver, deal maker, and team builder who transforms companies and unlocks their potential. Her skill set was evident during her tenure as the CEO of RBA (formerly Ritchie Brothers). Ann was recruited to helm the company, which had experienced 10 years of stagnation. In 3.5 years (during a global pandemic), she transformed the company from a live auctioneer to a global marketplace for insights services and transactions, diversifying income streams and resulting in Market Cap growth from $3.5B to $13+B, outperforming the S&P 500 and all industry peers.
Ann previously served as the CEO of Abra Auto Body & Glass, a Hellman & Friedman Private Equity backed company. After 4.5 years of minimal ROI under previous management, Ann delivered a 2.8x exit in 25 months by unlocking profitability through turbo charging growth (organically and through M&A) for this $1+ Billion leader in the Collision Industry.
Prior to joining ABRA, Ann was the CEO of Ride, a platform that reinvented the commute by bringing carpooling into the technology age. Ann created and founded Ride shortly after being hired by TPG Growth to lead vRide, a legacy vanpool company suffering from low margins and shrinking market share. Over 3 years, Ann built a world class management and technology team which led to a 7x exit and sale to its largest competitor.
