CEO of LinkedXL, helping organizations turn strategy into measurable results through
high-performance operating systems
Author of the bestselling McGraw Hill book The Winning Link, providing a practical, data-driven framework to close the gap between strategy and results across industries
Brings 30+ years of leadership at Goodyear Tire, known for driving large-scale
turnarounds and transforming losses into over $1B in earnings through disciplined execution
Delivers the keynote “Execution is the New Strategy,” focused on building execution engines that connect strategy, ownership, performance, and governance
Core message: You don’t win with strategy alone—you win with execution

This presentation is ideal for leaders and teams who are:

Lacking clarity on how to define, align, or execute the strategies that will build trust and deliver sustainable results.

Experiencing chaos and collisions rather than efficiency and connection due to misalignment.

Constantly reacting to problems but unable to identify the issues that are constraining their performance.

The audience will leave with:

A better understanding of how to build and implement a connected business model that will help them win.

The motivation and tools for implementing a Daily Management System that empowers their people to execute the right processes.

The ability to build the 3D approach-deliberate clarity, deliberate ownership, and deliberate practice-needed to build a winning organization.

He was by for one of the most inspiring speakers. His energy, his message. If I could capture 1/10 th
of what he has been able to do, I’d feel I have been successful!!
