MAZO Capital Solutions, a provider of commercial financing, appointed John Pfister, CLFP, to the role of CEO.
“After spearheading a six-month multi-industry search for a chief executive officer, it became overwhelmingly clear that the perfect candidate was already central to our team,” Brad Kissler, president of MAZO, said. “Several candidates demonstrated excellent track records of success and extensive experience, but it was John’s unique combination of MAZO experience, leadership and vision that made the final decision brilliantly clear. John has a remarkable ability to inspire and motivate teams, igniting passion and driving innovation at every turn. We are honored to have him leading MAZO into the future.”
Pfister was previously executive vice president for MAZO and under his leadership, the company was named the Orange County Business Journal’s second fastest-growing private company in 2023.
“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,” Andy Kim, co-founder and chief operating officer of MAZO, said. “Together, we will continue to innovate, serve our customers with excellence and create an environment for growth and collaboration.”
“I am truly honored to step into the role of CEO at MAZO Capital Solutions,” Pfister said. “We have a first-class team and a strong foundation, and I look forward to building on our successes while continuing to innovate and improve our offerings to meet the evolving needs of our customers. I firmly believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on current macroeconomic conditions, and we’ve been investing heavily in technology to equip our partners with the tools they need to thrive.”
