Family Business CEOs to Watch

I believe that family-owned companies like Michelman - those that are purpose-driven, values-based, people-first, and evergreen in nature – have an opportunity to change the world for the better.

When I say that we can change the world, I don't believe I'm making a grandiose claim. Michelman's purpose is Innovating a Sustainable Future, and when someone asks "how's business," we answer through the lens of our triple bottom line of People, Planet, and Profit. Meaning, we work at making a positive difference in the lives of the people we employ and whom we come into contact with, along with improving our planet—and continuing to do work that matters to make a difference in our stakeholders' financial well-being. That is why my family and I have loved owning Michelman for the last seventy-one years and why we plan to own and sustain it for generations to come.
