Russ Preite, president and CEO of PLNTF Holdings, was recognized as a 2022 Georgia Titan 100, a program that acknowledges and spotlights Georgia’s top 100 CEOs and c-level executives. Qualified individuals, who are all leaders in their industry, are assessed based on criteria such as leadership, vision and passion. The recipients of this honor are featured in a Titan 100 book and online. Along with having the opportunity to participate in an awards ceremony, honorees can network with each other throughout the year.

Before becoming part of the Planet Fitness^® team, Preite worked in executive roles at Verizon and Radio Shack. Preite joined PLNTF Holdings in 2019, bringing over 20 years of experience to the business. This experience has helped him understand how to develop talent, build culture and create high-performing organizations.

During his time with PLNTF, Preite has placed an emphasis on developing future leaders who can provide top-notch customer service while boosting sales and financial performance and improving operations.

“It is an honor to be named a Georgia Titan 100, and I’m thrilled to be part of this elite group,” said Preite. “My motto as a leader is that you are only as good as the team you have built around you. Once you become a leader, it is no longer about you. It is about being willing to talk less, listen more and allow talent to grow!”

The 2022 Georgia Titan 100 and their respective companies employ around 240,000 people and generate more than $66 billion in annual revenue. What an honor to have PF^®’s own Preite among them!
