Guy Marsala
The "Go-To-Guy"

In 2010, Guy was hired by Goldman Sachs to be President and CEO of EZ Lube, one of their private equity portfolio companies. EZ Lube had faced numerous compliance and financial challenges that led to a bankruptcy filing in 2008. Less than two years after taking the helm, the value of EZ Lube more than doubled and a sale to a strategic buyer was completed ahead of schedule. The company was named “Company of the Year” by the Association for Corporate Growth. The Orange County Business Journal, National Oil & Lube News, and Smart Business profiled the turn-around story in front-page features.

Guy’s impressive record of improving businesses includes a tenfold market capitalization increase at Navarre Corporation, a publicly traded music and software entertainment distributor, and the reversal of 15 years of declining sales and the restoration of double-digit sales and profit growth at Jostens, a scholastic products company. He also played a lead role in the integration of Corporate Express and BT Office Products, an acquisition that was lauded by BusinessWeek and generated a return on investment for shareholders of 110% in the first year after the two companies merged.

Guy’s list of accomplishments also includes senior executive roles with Hollywood Video, Corinthian Colleges and ARAMARK. Earlier in his career, he served as a Captain in the US Army, and later progressed through a series of positions of increased responsibility with American Hospital Supply Corporation and PepsiCo. Guy holds an MBA from the University of Dallas and a Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Urban League, Junior Achievement and Orange County Drug Use Is Life Abuse: Project No Gangs, and the California-Nevada Soft Drink Association.
