Patriot Environmental Services Appoints New CEO
Patriot Environmental Services has appointed Brian Johnson as Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2017.
Johnson has over two decades of experience in leading strategic growth plans and tactical process improvements for multi-state/multi-unit service companies in a number of operationally intensive industries. Johnson’s career includes prior positions as co-founder, Chief Operating Officer, and President of Vac One Services, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Consolidated Utility Services, and Senior Vice President of Operations for UtiliQuest. In these roles, Johnson has worked hand-in-hand with board members and professionals at some of the leading private equity firms in the United States, including Oaktree Capital’s GFI Energy Group, Tricor Pacific Capital (now known as Parallel 49 Equity), and American Capital.
“I’m incredibly excited to join the Patriot team,” said Johnson. “Patriot has a fantastic market reputation, a highly competitive service portfolio, a talented and seasoned management team and workforce that truly understands customer service, and an ownership group that is keen to support continued investments in people, processes, and assets that will fuel the company’s continued growth. I’m honored to join the leadership team, and look forward to expanding and improving our capabilities for our customers.”
Tom Scranton, Patriot’s co-founder and current CEO, will remain as Vice-Chairman and serve as a key advisor to Patriot’s board of directors on matters including long-term strategy and key customer relationships.
“Brian is going to take Patriot to the next level,” said Scranton. “His experience in partnering with private equity investors to build and lead companies in a variety of industrial and utility service businesses, and his authentic, straight forward approach to working with our team make him a fantastic fit for this role.”
