Welcome to the 2019 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#8 Greg Muzzillo & Vera Muzzillo, Proforma (asi/300094)

2018 Rank: 8

The husband and wife team that lead the sixth-largest distributor on the Top 40 list with $379 million in sales in 2018 – relatively flat to the previous year – hold their spot on the Power 50 and oversee an entity that recently invested over $12 million in technology on behalf of its affiliates, for whom – the company says – sales increased over 20% and gross profits grew over 17% for those on the system for over one year. Proforma also had three businesses on Counselor’s 2019 list of fastest-growing distributors, including the #1 company, and affiliates often point to the Muzzillos’ sense of inclusion and support, ceaseless availability and events like the annual Proforma Family Reunion as reasons why they’re loyal to the firm.
