“As an immigrant in this great nation, I feel truly blessed to be the owner of a company and live an American dream of entrepreneur,” Troussov said. “In my years with an agency, I had a privilege to work with multiple admin companies and learn a lot about that side of the business. This is where my reinsurance expertise comes from.
“But I’m a retail guy at heart, and this is where my passion to train and develop comes from. I love helping people grow and improve their performance. Working with dealerships on daily basis, allows me to bring real-life, up-to-date experiences to coaching and training. In other words, the combination of both retail and agency experiences prepared me to launch Mezen,” he added. “I look forward to make an impact both on my dealer partners and on industry in general.”
