Ron Sturgeon - Lead Facilitator for All Groups |
| Ron Sturgeon is a serial entrepreneur who will tell you that participation in a peer benchmarking review group for the auto salvage industry helped him build one of the largest auto salvage operations in the United States. He built that business from scratch and sold it to Ford Motor Company. Later, he and a pair of partners purchased Ford's salvage operations when it was losing more than a million dollars a month. In less than a year, they had the 15-state operation back in the black and sold to a Fortune 500 company. As an entrepreneur, Ron has created profitable businesses in auto sales, auto auction, computer software, exotic car rental, and commercial real estate. Plain spoken and motivated to help other small business people succeed, he facilitates groups for auto recyclers, car dealers, and collision repair shops. He will share the wisdom accumulated in a 30-year career as a multi-million dollar business builder. Read more about creative thinker Ron Sturgeon |
