We attended the latest Grand Valley State University Alumni Breakfast Series
this week in Grand Rapids MIchigan. The featured speaker was Blake
Krueger, the CEO of Wolverine Worldwide, Inc. speaking on Global Leadership
through Innovation.
If you aren't familiar with Wolverine Worldwide, they are a local company
based here in Rockford, Michigan. They had annual sales of $1.2 billion
last year as an international marketer of footwear, apparel, and accessories.
They make the popular Hush Puppies, Merrell, Patagonia, Sebago, Harley
Davidson and Cat footwear. The talk was very informative and relevant to
today's global market place. Wolverine Worldwide decided to go global back
in 1958, so they were way ahead of the curve when most companies decided
to market their products beyond the shores of the USA. Which could be why
they are a very successful company today.
Here is a short video of the last part of Mr. Krueger's talk, If you are interested.
