George Pardo - CEO of Vitrazza
George Pardo is best known to millions of cable news TV watchers and Sirius talk radio listeners as the “Glass Chair Mat Guy,” who liked the product so much be bought the company.
Since purchasing a locally successful Glass Chair Mat company based in Boulder, Colorado in 2012, George has almost single-handedly developed Glass Chair Mats into a thriving home/office product category by selling the product throughout the United States direct to consumers for both home office and small business.
Today, George is well on his way to replacing every ugly, yellow, unsanitary, and unsustainable plastic chair mat in the United States. But when George first shared his vision with others, the naysayers said no one would pay to have a heavy, glass item shipped. But George persevered with both packaging and design innovations that make ordering and arranging a Glass Chair Mat easier than setting up an office desk.
In the years since, George has even improved upon the Glass Chair Mat with new design and innovative materials advancements for Vitrazza Chair Mats. From the oneof-a-kind artisan Sola Glass Chair Mats which include an NFT certificate of authenticity, to bumper innovations that protect every type of floor, George’s vision of direct-toconsumer Glass Chair Mats has become an American success story. Vitrazza is also the only Glass Chair Mat company to identify the ergonomic benefits of Glass Chair Mats through extensive research and testing.
Vitrazza is also the only Glass Chair Mat company with a U.S. – based customer service, the ability to custom order in bulk or custom dimensions and a CEO who might just answer the customer service line himself. The Vitrazza name was created by George’s wife and co-founder, Lezlee who suggested the combination of two root words. The word “vitrum” derives from Latin, meaning glass and the “razza” is an Italian word which translates to “ray of light.” Vitrazza is a lustrous, glass manifestation of a superior office product.
Today, Vitrazza.com is a hub for premium office accessories for discerning professionals.
George is an alumnus of University of Florida and a contributor to Forbes.com. Vitrazza has been honored as one of the top 20 Gator100 companies in 2021 and 2022. He lives in Evergreen, Colorado with his wife, Lezlee; they have two college age young adult sons.

Ryan Kenny, CEO of Rocky Mountain Cred Card
Ryan Kenny is one of those rare Colorado natives. He has a 5 1/2 year old, Declan and a wife Dee.
When he's not watching sports, he's been helping small businesses as a payments consultant for almost 20 years now. He started Rocky Mountain Credit Card over 15 years ago. As opposed to most companies who can only offer one service or one company's product, Rocky Mountain Credit Card partners with over a dozen banks, technology and payments companies finding the right fit for each company. Most hospitality companies are lacking ordering and pay at the table services that are crucial to have with today's short staffing concerns. Rocky Mountain Credit Card partners with numerous companies that see this gap and offer free devices and POS systems to help during this tough time economically. On top of helping businesses find the best POS solution, Ryan is a B2B consultant helping this vertical accelerate their payments and offering credit as an alternative term process which is huge with cash flow being under attack with high inflation.
With Rocky Mountain Credit Card, a business gets the best of both worlds. They receive personalized service and support without having to be another number, but also work with great publicly traded companies that offer products that keep them ahead of the curve.
