Bardonaro joins Brock from Yak Access, where he spent just under a year as CEO before the company was acquired by United Rentals. 

Prior to joining the Yak Access team as CEO, Bardonaro was the president and COO of Maxim Crane, the largest specialty lifting company in North America for over nine years. He began working with Platinum Equity in 2012, when he joined Maxim. His primary responsibility was to lead the growth, acquisition strategy and margin improvements for the business during Platinum’s ownership of Maxim. Bardonaro has held a variety of executive leadership positions across the industry, working for AmQuip Crane, Terex Corporation and most recently, ArborWorks.

“We are extremely pleased to have Frank join us as the new CEO for Brock,” said Kevin Garland, executive chairman of the board for the Brock Group. “His extensive leadership experience in some of the same industrial end markets that are served by Brock will allow him to acclimate quickly and accelerate the key growth initiatives that the company is pursuing.”

On his appointment, Bardonaro commented, “It is with great pride that I’m joining the Brock Group, a company known for its unwavering commitment to safety, people, and performance. Having collaborated closely with Brock over the years, I am thrilled to now be a part of the team as we embark on this new chapter together.”
