Speaker:

As the founder of CEO Strategist and as a veteran of the wholesale distribution
industry with more than 30 years of executive management experience, Rick
Johnson knows exactly what it takes to create leaders within a company, and how
to maximize every sale to its full potential.

Rick started his career employed by the largest steel distributor in the world.
Then challenging himself to take what he had learned and forge a venture of his
own, he built a $25 million wholesale distribution business in less than 10
years (before earning a college education!). Deciding to succeed on the
industrial front lines and in the classroom, Rick then went on to complete his
bachelor's degree, MBA and his Ph.D. in Business Strategy.
