Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTom Friese is a seasoned packaging industry executive with over two decades leading national sales, business development, and strategic planning, currently serving as Vice President of National Sales at Victory Packaging. He has a proven track record of transforming operations and delivering dramatic cost savings—helping clients save hundreds of millions across North America through innovative paper packaging, engineering, fulfillment, and automation solutions. Earlier in his career he founded and scaled Rhomas Group, executing acquisitions, complex financing and operational turnarounds that produced double-digit operating margins, and he led Letica’s Maui Cup division from startup to tens of millions in revenue. A pragmatic dealmaker and team builder, Tom combines P&L discipline with hands-on sales re-engineering and mentorship to build high-performing, customer-focused teams. Based in Lake Zurich, Illinois, he pairs deep industry relationships (clients have included Honeywell, Lockheed Martin and Ford) with a knack for simplifying complex supply chain and cost-control challenges. Not obvious from his title: his career includes direct experience running manufacturing operations, negotiating multi-million dollar restructures, and sourcing venture and bank funding to drive growth.
