In addition to rentmoney, the company’s CEO, R. Lee Pritchard, has started or acquired
and effectively expanded 3 leading consumer service businesses. The businesses all
focus on attracting and serving consumers during a relocation event and each one
has played a part in transforming the relocation experience. The formula for success
is simple: (1) design an innovative, “consumer centric” business model, (2) recruit
and develop the right people, and (3) and drive stakeholder results through an energetic,
values based culture.
