In this session we are going to meet Bill Whitacre, the former CEO of the J.R. Simplot Company, one of the world’s largest food and agricultural businesses. We hope to discover the similarities and differences between Todd’s and Bill’s approach to leadership, their experiences, and reflections on successful careers. For one, Bill was responsible for over 13,000 employees, had offices in 60 countries, and reported directly to a family owned and privately held company board of directors. One very interesting similarity is that both Bill and Todd never completed college, something popular culture often portrays as a requirement to be successful. In either case, we are fortunate to have Bill in our community, and we hope you enjoy this opportunity to spend the afternoon with him.
