New York, June 2026 – New York-founded recruitment firm Metric is proud to announce the placement of Greg Rzonca as an Independent Board Director at three private equity-backed businesses operating across the TIC+ sector: ChemTech Ford Laboratories, in partnership with Platte River Equity; ICC-IMS, in partnership with Clarion Capital Partners; and Argus Monitoring Solutions, in partnership with Benford Capital Partners.

Platte River Equity is a Denver-based private equity firm focused on partnering with lower middle-market industrial businesses and has raised more than $1.7 billion of committed capital since its founding in 2006.

Clarion Capital Partners is a New York-based investment manager that invests in lower middle-market companies, partnering with management teams to drive growth through operational expertise, strategic vision, and long-term value creation.

Benford Capital Partners is a Chicago-based private equity firm focused on acquiring and building lower middle-market companies in partnership with founders, families, and management teams, with more than two decades of experience investing in niche businesses.

Each appointment represents a distinct organization with its own strategic priorities, yet all three identified Greg as the right board-level addition to support their next phase of growth, a testament both to the breadth of his experience and to the precision of the search process.

The placements were led by Harry Woolfall, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Metric.

Reflecting on the process, Greg Rzonca commented: “Over a 40-year career in the TIC+ industry, I have worked with many talented executive recruitment professionals. Harry Woolfall stands out to me as the most effective. Harry quickly understood my professional value proposition and leveraged his deep TIC+ industry knowledge and vast network to create impactful connections. In less than a year, his efforts impressively resulted in three Independent Board Director positions with private equity-backed platforms. I find Harry to be genuinely thoughtful, commercially astute, highly connected, and well respected by his clientele. He creates relationships that are not only relevant, but strategic and durable.”

Speaking of the placements, Harry Woolfall commented: “Identifying board-level talent for PE-backed platforms demands a precise understanding of both the sector and the specific strategic needs of each portfolio company. Greg’s 40 years across the TIC+ sector made him an exceptional candidate, and it was a genuine pleasure to partner with Platte River Equity, Clarion Capital, and Benford Capital in bringing someone of his experience to their respective boards.”
