Victra CEO and Chairman Rich Balot stated on his LinkedIn page that the company was able to fully integrate former Go Wireless stores onto Victra’s systems within the first day of owning the company.

“I’m very excited for my friend and longtime client, Rich Balot, and the high-performing team at Victra for this tremendous achievement,” said Mark Moses, CEO and Founding Partner of CEO Coaching International. “With their strong commitment to growth and dedication to their core values of Performance, Integrity, Innovation, Collaboration, and Celebration, it’s easy to see why Victra has excelled as the largest premium retailer in their industry.”
