CEO
CollisionRight
As an experienced C-suite executive, Rich Harrison has helped to lead numerous major automotive aftermarket firms in navigating and leveraging the most important industry shifts of the past three decades. His prowess in strategy, operations, and business development—together with particular accomplishment in industry consolidation—has been a catalyst for rapid growth throughout his career. Rich has developed a consistent track record building high-performance teams and executing large-scale roll-up strategies, and has led well over 100 acquisitions to-date.
Rich began his career with glass-repair group Belron International, where he was responsible for strategy, business development, and operations for multiple divisions. After leading Belron’s entry into the U.S. market, he joined Safelite AutoGlass as COO and helped it double in size to become the leading auto-glass repair and replacement brand in the country. Rich then co-founded TruRoad Holdings, which he led in becoming the U.S.’s second-largest auto glass-repair and replacement firm.
In 2020, Rich founded CollisionRight, a leading regional multi-shop collision repair operator that has grown to 100 shops across 10 states within just four years. CollisionRight today employs over 1,500 collision repair professionals and serves more than 90,000 vehicles per year. It is headquartered in Dublin, Ohio. Rich continues to lead the company’s rapid expansion as CEO, both within the regions that it currently serves and into new markets throughout the U.S.
