A Moment of Clarity: FSG’s Next Chapter
More than four decades ago, the founders of Facility Solutions Group experienced a moment of clarity when they set out to build something more than a business. They set out to build an institution dedicated to timeless contribution and service. That vision has been carried forward by generations of people across FSG who have worked to build what the company is today.
A Thoughtful Transition
Recently, Bill Graham started discussions with the Board of Directors and Executive Board about an important and intentional transition. It was time to look for a new Chief Executive Officer. After many years of leadership, Bill decided to begin shifting his time and attention to creating more space for his family and giving the next generation of leadership the opportunity to carry the company forward.
With this in mind, the Board of Directors and executive leadership turned their attention to a defining question: Who should lead FSG into its next chapter?
A Clear Answer
Practically, the next CEO should be capable of leading a complex, growing organization. But more importantly, this person must understand and preserve the mission and vision that have guided FSG for more than 40 years.
As the search process unfolded, something became increasingly clear. The right leader for this next chapter wasn’t someone outside the organization. It was someone who had already helped build it.
Introducing FSG’s Next CEO
FSG is proud to announce Jason Zipprian as the next Chief Executive Officer of Facility Solutions Group.
Jason Zipprian began his career at FSG more than 30 years ago as an apprentice electrician. From the field to executive leadership, his journey reflects the very purpose of the company: to create opportunity, develop people, and build something that lasts.
Throughout his career, Jason has built strong businesses, developed strong leaders, and consistently pointed to the people around him as the source of his success. More importantly, he understands the responsibility that comes with leading an institution like FSG — to protect what’s been built and to build what comes next.
Looking Ahead
Bill will continue to serve FSG as Chairman of the Board and as interim Chief Financial Officer, and he’ll remain fully engaged in the business, committed to supporting Jason and our leaders.
Leadership transitions are significant moments in any company. At FSG, they’re also reminders of something deeper. This institution has always been built, and will continue to be built, by people who are committed to something greater than themselves.
As FSG enters this next chapter, our mission remains the same: to create opportunity and to build an institution that contributes to others for generations to come!
