Find and execute shell scripts in multiple sub directories in parallel

I have one parent directory and within that parent directory there are several other sub-directories and within those sub-directories there are several other "large number" of sub-directories.

All the sub directories have a shell script in them with a common file name execute_command.sh I want to execute all those shell scripts in parallel from within my parent directory.

I tried this but it does not work:

Code:
find . -type d -exec sh execute_command.sh {} \;

I am using Linux with BASH.
