Peak Roofing Partners names Bruce Bessire CEO

Peak Roofing Partners promoted Chief Operating Officer Bruce Bessire to chief executive officer as the residential roofing platform pushes growth across Florida and Alabama. The move comes after two acquisitions, multiple greenfield openings and a broader push to scale through organic growth and dealmaking.

Why it matters: - Peak Roofing Partners is moving from acquisition mode to a broader growth phase under a new CEO with direct operating and deal experience. - The leadership change comes as the company expands its footprint across the southeastern U.S. and competes in a growing roofing market. - The appointment also signals continuity, since Bruce Bessire has already helped run Peak Roofing’s daily operations and acquisition activity.

What happened: - Peak Roofing Partners appointed Bruce Bessire as chief executive officer. - Bessire had served as chief operating officer since 2024. - Peak Roofing Partners is a portfolio company of Exuma Capital Partners focused on acquiring and growing residential roofing companies. - The company said Bessire’s goal is to expand the portfolio through organic growth, greenfield expansion and strategic acquisitions.

The details: - Peak Roofing Partners acquired Action Roofing in April 2024. - Peak Roofing Partners has opened 5 additional greenfield offices in Florida and Alabama since that acquisition. - Peak Roofing Partners acquired Skymark Roofing in Central Florida in July 2025. - The company is opening two more greenfield locations in greater Central Florida. - Anthony Perera, founder of Peak Roofing Partners and managing partner at Exuma Capital Partners, said Bessire spent the past two years across acquisitions and daily operations. - Perera said Bessire is positioned to lead Peak Roofing into its next chapter. - Bessire has more than 25 years of cross-industry leadership experience. - His background spans pharmaceuticals, medical devices, manufacturing, property and casualty insurance and roofing. - As COO, Bessire led daily operations and played a central role in the Action Roofing and Skymark Roofing acquisitions. - Bessire’s experience includes sales leadership, customer success, organizational health and community involvement.

Between the lines: - Peak Roofing is using leadership promotion to keep execution tight while it scales a platform built through acquisitions. - The company is also betting that a leader with experience outside roofing can help professionalize operations as it grows. - Bessire’s first move as CEO was to elevate John Bota to a company-wide role overseeing sales initiatives across all Peak Roofing brands. - Bota previously served as director of sales at Skymark Roofing and will keep that title in his expanded role. - Bessire said Bota has more than 15 years of experience building sales teams, opening new markets and driving operational excellence. - In his new role, Bota will focus on sales leadership, training programs and operational consistency across the portfolio.

What’s next: - Peak Roofing Partners will continue pursuing organic growth, new greenfield locations and strategic acquisitions. - The company is expected to lean on Bessire’s operating background as it scales across its regional footprint. - John Bota’s expanded sales role will likely be central to standardizing performance across Peak Roofing brands.

The bottom line: - Peak Roofing Partners is pairing a CEO transition with an aggressive expansion strategy, aiming to turn recent acquisitions into a larger regional roofing platform.
