Chauffeured Transport Solutions - Ron Gil’s SEDANZ

While in school, our guest needed a job with a flexible schedule in order to work around his college classes.  With the help from his family, he purchased his first “black car” a Lincoln Town Car in late 2007. As he quickly learned the potential of the black car business, Ron Gil founded Sedanz and never looked back. 

Ron wanted to make sure each chauffeur would treat Sedanz clients the way he would treat them, providing that next level, personal touch, to every ride. And while Sedanz operates out of New York City, their fleet reaches beyond the tri-state area. They have secured trips for their clients in all major cities such as Los Angeles, Boston, London, Paris, Stockholm and beyond. And Ron’s with us tonight to tell his story, about  a young entrepreneur who at the time did not know where his black car gig would take him.
