Entrepreneur / Business Executive / Venture Capitalist – Manufacturing, Financing, Banking, & Technology Sectors
Mr. Rossi is a multi-faceted and successful Silicon Valley-based entrepreneur. He is the founder and CEO of Cal Door & Drawer. Over the past 35 years, Cal Door has grown from a regional supplier to one of the country’s largest manufacturers and wholesale suppliers to the construction industry (www.CalDoor.com).
Early in his career, Mr. Rossi branched out and created an independent finance and leasing company. His experience with investing and finance eventually took him into the banking industry. He is one of the original founders of Pinnacle Bank (OTCQB: PBNK). Mr. Rossi is currently Pinnacle Bank’s Vice-Chairman and Chairman of the Pinnacle Bank ALCO committee. Pinnacle Bank is a premier business bank with operations in Silicon Valley. During the past 17 years, it has grown organically from a start-up bank to nearly one billion in assets.
Mr. Rossi wrote the first check that launched StormQuant and continues to be the majority investor. As StormQuant’s Board Chairman and CEO, Mr. Rossi shepherded this company from an idea in a small Silicon Valley office to a bi-coastal company with patented installed technology. StormQuant’s latest installation in Central Florida for FDEM, Florida’s Department of Emergency Management, captured Hurricane Milton during the time the legacy NEXRAD system went down. StormQuant’s game-changing 3-D hardware and software weather platform is poised to change the way the world sees and reacts to weather.
