Tim Larson

I lead and inspire teams to their highest performance by communicating a clear vision, empowering great talent and driving decisive execution. My approach is a result of growing from intern to CEO in 15 years, and the experience of leading businesses to become and remain market leaders. I deliver growth by: • Creating a customer driven culture that excels at cross-functional execution • Building diverse teams and empowering top talent • Transforming the customer experience to grow share, reduce costs and deliver profitable mass customization • Accelerating sales and marketing performance, digital strategy and omni-channel execution Examples: • As Chief Executive, led the team to 5 consecutive years of industry leading share and profitability. • Transformed a printing business into a multi-channel and digital business: growing revenue from $348 million at the start of 2005 to $393 million in 2008 and increasing annual operating income during the same period from $68 million to $100 million. • Inspired sales representatives and employees resulting in growth and recognition as one of the 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ in the United States. • Executed an internet strategy from its founding stage to annually delivering over $100 million in direct e-commerce revenues and over $500 million in off-line revenues. Here’s what those I've worked with say I bring to a team: • Excels at both vision and execution • Tim ensures an organization’s focus is the customer and external, not internal • Promotes diversity, resulting in a culture that delivers great problem solving and innovation [email protected] 612-594-0700 Specialties: President, CEO, CMO, VP, strategy, digital transformation, customer experience, product innovation, product development, building teams, acquisitions, manufacturing, e-commerce, mobile, CRM, brand development, advertising, communications, omni-channel.
