Richard Rozycki

RICHARD J. ROZYCKI is a growth-driven executive with 14 years of experience in senior operations leadership and corporate law. His background includes specialization in the modular and prefabricated construction industry where he has developed a proven track record of transforming startups into burgeoning revenue producers. Rich brings to the table a unique business perspective, having served in C-suite leadership roles and as general counsel at major companies like Z Modular and Champion Home Builders. He is a forward-thinking strategist who identifies opportunities, mitigates risks, and builds tactical partnerships that result in multimillion-dollar revenue growth. In March 2021, Rich stepped into the role of Chief Executive Officer at CRATE Modular, a leading manufacturer of modular buildings made from reused shipping containers. As a member of the C-suite leadership team and board of directors, Rich focuses on driving a strategic business direction to help the company transition from an early-stage manufacturer to a high-growth industry player, all while supporting the enterprise’s sustainability mission. In his new role at CRATE, Rich is poised to take the company to the next level. He is excited to drive the vision and strategies to maximize value for customers, employees, and shareholders. Before joining CRATE Modular, Rich served as Senior Vice President at Z Modular where he was the #2 US-based employee. During his tenure, he worked side-by-side with the company’s president to shape and execute strategic plans. Under his guidance, the company experienced explosive growth, increasing the construction pipeline from $12M to $170M in projects. He played a direct role in expanding the startup from 0 to 4 production facilities and increasing the workforce from 15 to ~600 employees. Previously, as General Manager of Champion Commercial Structures and Assistant General Counsel at Champion Home Builders, Rich demonstrated invaluable versatility. Notably, he raised divisional revenue from less than $1M to ~$40M over a 3-year period, along with securing Champion Commercial Structures as 1 of 4 modular vendors selected by Marriott International to build hotels during its modular initiative launch in 2015. Rich’s early career includes tenures as an attorney within private practices. During that time, he negotiated a multimillion-dollar public construction project contract, served as first-chair defense of a residential development involved in a commercial contract dispute before the American Arbitration Association, and obtained full payment of a contracted fee for a structural steel contractor involved in a lien dispute. Over the past few years, Rich has honed a reputation as a thought leader in his field, participating in public speaking engagements nationwide to promote Z Modular and the modular construction industry. He has delivered presentations covering a range of topics from sales and business development to construction process optimization. Rich holds a juris doctor degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Michigan State University. He is also a member of the Modular Building Institute and is licensed to practice law in Michigan.
