During his time at USIG, Tony also acted as the COO of 3 Day Blinds. Tony led a business rebrand that aligned to customer aspirations, rationalized product offerings, consolidated manufacturing, and created a new team for product innovation and development. He transitioned the business to a shop-at-home business model, growing the design team from 45 to 450 consultants. Tony has extensive private equity experience and has worked in various capacities for HIG, Roark, Golden Gate Capital, Rosewood, and others.
