In less than a decade, ACP extended its services to adult care and its footprint to Texas. The company also launched an international recruiting agency to help solve the nationwide nursing shortage.
In late 2018, Greice spearheaded the acquisition of the company with Council Capital, a well-respected healthcare private equity firm. Greice led ACP as its CEO from its inception until mid-2021, and now remains actively involved as a board member. As the founder and second largest shareholder of the company, Greice’s focus is to create equity value by improving operating efficiencies, enhancing culture, and helping lead the execution of the company’s M&A strategy.
Under her leadership, ACP grew organically and through acquisitions at an annual rate of 40-50% with a team of 1,300+ employees, becoming one of the few companies in the U.S. ever to make the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private-Companies list for 8 years in a row.
