Bob Maffei recently stepped down as CEO of the Cape Cod company he started 30 years ago and ultimately sold, Maffei Landscape Contractors, in order to devote himself fully to his new venture, The Maffei Companies. The Maffei Cos is a consulting firm dedicated to helping landscaping companies scale their business and take their development to the next level.

For the last 30 years, Toby Massengale has been CEO of Massengale Grounds Management.
