Pratik Patel
Owner
Pratik Patel began his career working with an environmental engineering firm where his role was to focus on improving operational efficiencies for municipal wastewater facilities nationally. Within that short tenure, he had the opportunity to elevate his role by expanding corporate business operations on the west coast. Identifying the pain points within the mobile fleet servicing industry, Pratik looked ahead and followed his passion for entrepreneurship. With minimal startup capital, Pratik developed a mobile solution set for the fleet industry and founded a sustainable mobile car care company. As the CEO for his company, Pratik gained an in-depth knowledge of key departments to support the company ranging from legal, accounting, HR, and technology. Over the course of 5 years, Pratik was able to rapidly grow his company to serve 6 major US markets, raise institutional funding, build and lead a high performing management team, and generate 125% average year-over-year revenue growth. Pratik was able to successfully exit to a multi-billion dollar organization in the automotive space. As part of the acquisition, he inked a deal to stay on as the President for the business unit, reporting directly to senior leadership at the enterprise level. Being an executive leader in a larger corporation, Pratik has evolved his role into a global overview of business operations, making quality investing decisions and leading a key executive team. Pratik is currently building a strategy to accelerate revenue growth and create a clear path to long term profitability. In the first-year post acquisition, he was able to meet the parent company’s financial plan by growing revenue. Pratik has now embarked on his next venture as the owner of College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving of Levittown.
