Partner.Co announced that founders Darren Zobrist and John Wadsworth will now lead the company as co-Chief Executive Officers. Previously, Zobrist led as CEO while Wadsworth served as Chief Brand Partner Officer. The company stated that this move formalizes “a partnership that has powered the business from day one.”

The new structure is a strategic positioning designed to prepare the company for its next phase of growth. Together, they will share the responsibility of corporate strategy while Zobrist leads operations with financial discipline and Wadsworth drives sales strategy and Brand Partner experience.

“John and I set out to build a company that lasts, and you don’t build something that will thrive for 100 years by holding it in one set of hands,” Zobrist said. “This structure provides more leadership capacity and more focus to serve our Brand Partners and carry on this mission for generations to come. Every day, I feel honored to be fully engaged, working as hard as ever to lead Partner.Co, and I’m excited to have John serve alongside me as Co-CEO as we accelerate the next stage of our growth.”

Zobrist and Wadsworth will continue building on their joint vision and shared determination as they protect their company culture, cast vision and steer the company’s mission forward.

“We are poised for real growth, and growth rewards speed,” Wadsworth said. “With both of us in the CEO seat, we can put more behind our Brand Partners and move on opportunities the moment we see them. Moving together with a shared vision is how we make the most of this moment.”
