“I am extremely excited to join the team at ABG and transcend the company’s mission to deliver excellence throughout the United States,” said Bosco. “I’m thrilled for the opportunity to align with a company that values hard work, entrepreneurship and nimbleness, all while having lots of fun doing so. I truly believe we work in the most exciting industry in the world and I’m honoured to be part of ABG’s share of the future.”
