Three Leadership Moves at ValleyCrest

ValleyCrest Landscape Companies has announced the promotions of two senior-level executives, and the addition of another executive to its leadership team. Effective May 1, 2012, Richard A. Sperber will be promoted to chairman of the board of ValleyCrest Landscape Companies.

Roger J. Zino will be promoted to chief executive officer of ValleyCrest Landscape Companies, and will remain as president of ValleyCrest Landscape Maintenance, his current position. Andrew J. Brennan will re-join the company as chief operating officer of ValleyCrest Landscape Companies, effective January 16, 2012, a newly-created position reporting to Zino.

This change will allow Sperber to focus on charting the vision and direction of the family of companies, while remaining involved with client and employee growth and development strategies.

In promoting Zino to CEO, ValleyCrest is drawing a strong and respected leader from within its management team to continue moving the company forward. Zino joined the company in 2001, and oversees more than 120 maintenance branch offices across the United States.

His acute focus on driving a culture of complete customer satisfaction, field operations excellence and his close connection to the company’s frontline operating personnel has led to record growth within the maintenance division, which is the company’s largest division.

Brennan returns to the company; he will provide additional corporate leadership and operational support. He originally began working with the company in 2003, and has since served in several capacities within the company, most recently as chief operating officer of ValleyCrest Landscape Maintenance.

ValleyCrest Landscape Companies is the largest integrated landscape services company in the U.S. today.
