alphabroder (asi/34063) – CEO

2022 Rank: #8

Industry Experience: 10 Years

Previous Appearances on Power 50: 2

The CEO of alphabroder notched a major victory this year, as the Top 40 supplier centralized its apparel and hard goods business (the latter stemming from its 2017 acquisition of Prime Line) under a single identity and website. “Alphabroder is committed to evolving to better serve our customers and partners,” Pantano said in April when the company announced the change. “The enhanced alphabroder.com will streamline the ordering process in a way that hasn’t been done before.” Pantano – who became CEO in 2021 following several years as the company’s president – has led the number-three ranked supplier past the $2 billion mark, and earned high marks for increasing influence from both Power 50 members and the industry at large to preserve his standing in the top 10 of this year’s list.
